Daniil Ustinkov's Player Profile

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "Generally, though, he moves pucks quickly, he’s got a good first pass, he manages the puck well, he’ll make the odd play through or around coverage, and he has proven he can be active and involved against his peers on both sides. He needs to get a little quicker getting back to pucks, but that will come with age/strength and is compensated by knowing where to be, good edges, a competitiveness and a want to make a difference."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "I think he knows he’s skilled and tries to do too much, but doesn’t have the ability to make up for mistakes. Ustinkov has shown often he can be one of Switzerland’s best defenders, but consistency is an issue. High-risk, high-reward."

Seth Ditchfield - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "He balances impressive foundational skills with an above-average sense of game dynamics, beginning transitions effectively and engaging offensively. He does a great job of pinching, using a combination of edgework, stickhandling, and physical strength. His defensive play thrives due to strength, edgework, and quick thinking to keep the puck in motion and drive plays forward."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - Apr. 15th: "He closes gaps, jumps on loose pucks and attacks small mistakes in puckhandling made by the opposing team. He's also an incredibly efficient transition passer who hits teammates with crisp passes in stride."
