In 2025-26, Andrei Svechnikov, 26, posts a PAL Rating of 82 out of 100 (excellent), and his WAR of 2.2 ranks 55th among 615 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: shooting (95, among the best in the league), power play (94, among the best in the league) and offense (92, among the best in the league). On the other hand, discipline (2, among the weakest in the league) and defense (8, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.

A clear step forward: his PAL went from 67 in 2024-25 to 82; his WAR went from 0.4 to 2.2.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 66 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Andrei Svechnikov's story
Barnaul was the place he was born, but hockey arrived very early: he was skating by age three, with a mother who worked at a rink and a family that later moved to Moscow and Kazan to follow hockey opportunities. Those moves set the stage for his development far from a simple hometown path.
He came to North America to play in the USHL, signing a tender with the Muskegon Lumberjacks in May 2016. In 2016–17 he led his club in scoring, finished sixth in league scoring and earned All-USHL Team honours along with Rookie of the Year. Selected first overall in the 2017 CHL Import Draft by the Barrie Colts, he posted 72 points in 44 OHL games and captured the Emms Family Award as the OHL rookie of the year, finishing the scouting season as the top-ranked North American skater ahead of the 2018 NHL Draft.
Carolina picked him second overall in 2018 and he signed a three-year entry-level contract on 30 June. He made his NHL debut in October 2018 and scored his first NHL goal days later, the first goal by a player born in the 2000s. After a 20-goal rookie year he pushed his totals to 61 points in 2019–20, produced Michigan-style goals that were the first of their kind in the NHL, and recorded the franchise's first postseason hat-trick. In August 2021 he agreed to an eight-year, $62 million contract with the Hurricanes.
A knee injury ended his 2022–23 campaign early, despite a 55-point regular season in 64 games and selection to the 67th NHL All-Star Game. The crowning team achievement arrived in June 2026 when he won the Stanley Cup with Carolina. On the ice he is defined by offensive instincts: a mix of speed, shot and creativity that leads to highlight goals and consistent production.
