Projected potential

Bio

A legitimate NHL prospect, with the unknown of coming to North America from Russia. An excellent skating defenseman with good mobility and agility who is not afraid to be physical.

PNHLe

Projected potential: 372025-26 · KHL · Amur Khabarovsk

What is PNHLe?

PNHLe is an offensive stat that is used to project a player’s point potential at the NHL level and is meant to standardize a variety of leagues so that prospects can be compared from one league with another.

PNHLe attempts to equalize all leagues, age and positions so that the offensive potential of a prospect can easily be compared with others, while also projecting future NHL point potential in the prime years of a player.

The problem with NHLe

The premise of the NHLe stat is certainly a great idea. If a player jumps directly from one league to the NHL there should be some precedent set by historical values that would indicate how many points that player should project to having in a full NHL season. However, it always bothered me that NHLe never took into account that younger players in the same league would always have a massive disadvantage compared to those that have more experience and are physically more mature in the same league. NHLe only looks at the present to predict how many points in one league are equated at the NHL level.

NHL Certainty
3.0
30% odds
Odds of becoming a full-time NHL player (10.0 = 100%). Draft guideline is a starting point and should rise as the prospect proves himself.
Upside
2.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

The Edmonton Oilers’ sixth-round pick (190th overall) in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. Nikita Yevseyev is unsigned by the Oilers and split the 2024-25 season between the KHL and VHL. Playing the majority of his games with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL (38 games). Yevseyev has all the tools to be an NHL player; it is just a question of whether he will come to North America and leave Russia. Overall awareness and positioning are his strengths, and he shows signs of being a puck-moving defenseman with an underrated shot; his offensive game is a work in progress.
