A former first-round selection is on his way to join the Utah Mammoth.
Forward Daniil But has agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced on Wednesday.
"We are very pleased to sign Daniil to an NHL contract," said Bill Armstrong, general manager of the Mammoth in a statement. "Daniil is a highly skilled forward with a great shot and playmaking skills who is coming off a career season. We are looking forward to seeing him in a Mammoth sweater."
The 20-year-old was selected 12th overall in the 2023 draft by the Mammoth, who were still the Arizona Coyotes at the time.
But spent the 2024-25 season with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the KHL, logging 28 points (nine goals, 19 assists) in 54 appearances. He set new career highs in assists, points and average ice time (11:47). The six-foot-six, 216-pound forward also helped Lokomotiv capture its first Gagarin Cup championship this year.
His move to Utah will reunite But with top prospect Dmitri Simashev, who Utah also signed to an entry-level deal on Wednesday. The pair spent time as teammates previously while in Lomotiv's system.
A native of Yaroslavl, Russia, But has represented his home country at multiple international tournaments, including a gold medal run at the 2021 Hlinka Gretzky Cup.
