But signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Mammoth on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
But was selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. He had nine goals and 28 points across 54 regular-season outings with the KHL's Yaroslavl Lokomotiv in 2024-25. The 20-year-old is a big forward at 6-foot-6 and already has plenty of experience playing against men after logging 124 career regular-season KHL games and another 33 playoff outings in that league. Although he might still start his North American career in the AHL, but should be given every chance to earn a roster spot during training camp.

But has nine goals and 24 points in 47 outings with KHL Yaroslavl this season.
EDGE Analysis
That's a modest increase over the 21 points (10 goals) in 55 regular-season appearances But provided with Yaroslavl in 2023-24. But is a Utah prospect, selected by Arizona with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old forward is a towering presence at 6-foot-6 and might eventually use that size to his advantage in a middle-six role in Utah. However, he's likely still years away from reaching his full potential.
