In this episode of the Prospect Spotlight series, our scouts take a half-hour deep dive into the game of a toolsy and smooth-skating RD who will likely be picked Top 5 in June: Artyom Levshunov! First, they introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his trifecta of puck skills: shooting, passing, and handling. Next, they shift their attention to his habits, tools, and toolkit. Last, they debate Levshunov’s projection at the NHL level from both stylistic and statistical perspectives, before capping off the episode by looking at which NHL teams would be the best fit for him.
Tune back in tomorrow for a Prospect Spotlight on Konsta Helenius, one of the smartest players eligible for the 2024 NHL Entry Draft!
Our tool projection scale goes from 1 to 10:
1 – Below AHL Caliber Tool
2 – AHL Caliber Tool
3 – Replacement-Level Tool
4 – Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool
5 – Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool
6 – Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool
7 – Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool
8 – Clear Elite Tool (Suzuki’s hockey sense)
9 – Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes’ playmaking)
10 – Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard’s shot or McDavid’s skating)
(note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)

Blackhawks need a right shot D…but levshunov does nothing for me. Really hope he isn’t our guy. Rather take one of the elite forwards with our high pick and grab a right shot D with Tampas pick in the late teens early 20s
Kinda looks like werenski
298 lbs wow big guy! 🤣🤣🤣
If my hawks don’t get #1 I’m really hoping for Lev at #2 or #3 dudes so skilled just needs another year in the NCAA and 1 more in the AHL
If Chicago doesn't go Lindstrom, there's a spot perfect for him on Alex Vlašić's side
