Contract-wise, his Value score of 46 (fair value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Dmitri Voronkov's story
Growing up in Angarsk, Dmitri Voronkov came through the local system before stepping into professional ranks. After developing with Iermak Angarsk, he made his first senior appearances in the VHL in 2017–18 and was soon picked up by Ak Bars Kazan, where he would begin to feature at the top levels of Russian hockey.
Voronkov reached the KHL stage in 2018–19, appearing in several regular-season games and getting a taste of playoff hockey in February 2019. His potential attracted NHL attention and Columbus selected him 114th overall in the 2019 entry draft, setting the course for a move abroad.
He established himself further with Ak Bars. In April 2021 he suffered a broken jaw after blocking a shot but returned during the same game and continued to contribute; over those playoffs he finished with ten points in fifteen games, the team high among his teammates. After his fifth season in Kazan, during which the club advanced to the Gagarin Cup final in 2022–23, Voronkov signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on 4 April 2023.
Arriving in North America, he was farmed to the Cleveland Monsters in the AHL before getting NHL opportunities. Voronkov played his first NHL game on 26 October 2023 against the Montreal Canadiens, recording an assist, and scored his first NHL goal on 30 October 2023 versus the Dallas Stars.
Internationally, Voronkov has represented Russia at youth levels and earned a place on the roster for the Russian Olympic Committee athletes at the 2022 Winter Olympics. His game blends physical commitment in front of the net with a knack for creating offence, traits shown both in the KHL playoffs and during his early North American appearances.
