Fedor Svechkov

Svechkov made his NHL debut in 2024-25 and totaled 52 appearances with Nashville, recording 17 points, 32 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating. His opportunity came about because many of the Predators' other players struggled throughout the campaign. Svechkov had 12 points in 13 regular-season outings and eight points in 10 playoff contests with AHL Milwaukee as well, but it's not expected for him to be a major factor on offense in the NHL in the long run. Still, it's encouraging that he was able to hold his own under less-than-ideal circumstances as a rookie. If the 22-year-old plays all of 2025-26 in the NHL, he should be a threat for 30-plus points while operating in a middle-six role. Read Past Outlooks
