2027 NHL Draft Prospect Report – Vladimir Shtyrkhunov (RD)
Vladimir Shtyrkhunov – RHD – Shawinigan Cataracts QMJHL
Scouting Feed
2027 NHL Draft Rankings: DuPont, Neuenschwander, and Privalov Lead Round 1
28 – Vladimir Shtyrkhunov (6’0″ | 157lbs | RD | Shawinigan Cataractes | Russia)
Vladimir Shtyrkhunov is an intriguing, offensively minded defenceman who loves to join the rush and faces a pivotal season ahead as he transitions from Russia to the QMJHL. Standing at 5’10”, he lacks imposing size, relying instead on high-end mobility and sharp anticipation to disrupt plays defensively and drive transition up the ice. Offensively, he has solid vision paired with a functional point shot, traits that should continue to refine as he adapts to the North American game. With a strong skating base and proven offensive instincts, Shtyrkhunov is a prime candidate for a breakout year with Shawinigan.
