Alexey Toropchenko: our analysis
2025-26 season: 65 GP, 4 G, 7 A, 11 PTS, -11 +/-, 11:59 TOI. WAR -0.3 (537th of 615) · PAL 24, below average.
In 2025-26, Alexey Toropchenko, 27, posts a PAL Rating of 24 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.3 ranks 537th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+1.3); his biggest cost: finishing (-2.7).
A marked decline: his PAL was 40 in 2024-25, against 24 now; his WAR, though, went from -0.6 to -0.3.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 27 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Alexey Toropchenko's story
Born 25 June 1999 in Moscow, Toropchenko developed within the Russian junior ranks before moving to North America to continue his hockey path. A right winger with notable size, he served as an alternate captain in the MHL with HK MVD Balashikha and was later selected fourth overall in the CHL Import Draft by the Guelph Storm.
He made an immediate mark in the OHL, recording both a goal and an assist in his debut on 22 September 2017. Over two seasons in Guelph he posted steady numbers—17 goals in each regular season—and played a key part in the Storm’s run to their 2019 J. Ross Robertson Cup victory during the playoffs.
Selected 113th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, he signed a three-year entry-level contract on 13 December 2018. Toropchenko’s professional debut came on 13 April 2018 with the Blues’ AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage. He scored his first professional goal on 1 November 2019 and finished the 2019–20 AHL campaign with five goals and four assists in 59 games.
Assigned to HC Kunlun Red Star for the 2020–21 KHL season, he appeared in 45 contests, tallying seven goals and four assists. He made his KHL debut on 4 October 2020, notched his first KHL goal on 19 October, and on 25 October scored 34 seconds into a game—the fastest goal in Kunlun Red Star’s history.
Returning to the Blues’ organization, he skated for the Springfield Thunderbirds in 2021–22 and earned his first NHL game on 14 December 2021, a 4–1 win against the Dallas Stars during a period affected by a COVID-19 outbreak. His game is straightforward: a power-forward winger who uses size and physical play to create space, support defensive responsibilities and chip in offensively.
