Dorofeyev was demoted to AHL Henderson on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dorofeyev was on the ice for just 4:07 in the season openers, in which he failed to register any significant fantasy stats, so his reassignment to the minors shouldn't come as a surprise. Looking ahead to the rest of the 2021-22 campaign, Dorofeyev, along with Jack Dugan, Jonas Rondbjerg and Jake Leschyshyn, figure to frequently shift between the NHL and AHL this year.

Dorofeyev was assigned to the taxi squad Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Dorofeyev signed his entry-level contract with the Golden Knights in January. He's collected three points in six games with AHL Henderson. It's unclear if he'll make his NHL debut anytime soon.

Dorofeyev signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Golden Knights on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dorofeyev was immediately billed as a steal when selected in the third round of the 2019 draft, and his ability to break into the North American professional ranks a year later further supports that notion. He'll begin his stateside career with the Silver Knights of the AHL, and Dorofeyev will likely need some seasoning to adjust to the smaller ice surface before he's ready to contribute at the NHL level.
