Valeri Nichushkin played this past season in the KHL for the Traktor Ice Hockey Club in Chelijabinsk, Russia. Valeri is a highly skilled left winger who is highly competitive and doesn’t shy away from the physical game.
He is a very skilled power forward with a good hockey IQ. Like most 6’4 power forwards he is hard to play against one-on-one. Most scouts rank him as a very good to excellent skater with top-end speed and power. Overall, he’s considered your prototypical NHL power forward. Valeri’s mix of speed, skill and size, has made him one of the top players to watch at this summer’s draft.
Valeri Nichushkin is projected to go anywhere from in the 4th pick all the way down to the 8th pick. The only reason he would fall out of the top 6 is if there was concerns about him staying in Russia and playing in the Kontinental Hockey League. There hasn’t been any indication that this is the case. Stay Tuned !!!
