Fedor Svechkov: our analysis
2025-26 season: 70 GP, 4 G, 13 A, 17 PTS, -6 +/-, 12:05 TOI. WAR -0.2 (501st of 615) · PAL 14, very poor.
In 2025-26, Fedor Svechkov, 23, posts a PAL Rating of 14 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 501st among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: discipline (78, well above average). On the other hand, creation (8, among the weakest in the league) and power play (10, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: penalties (+0.9); his biggest cost: finishing (-3.6).
A marked decline: his PAL was 26 in 2024-25, against 14 now; his WAR went from 0.2 to -0.2.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 26 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Fedor Svechkov's story
Growing up in Togliatti, Fedor Svechkov came through the local system at Lada and moved quickly between junior and pro levels. He split the 2020–21 campaign between the MHL and the VHL, breaking into senior hockey with Lada and recording 5 goals and 15 points across 38 VHL games while also pacing a point-per-game rate over 15 junior appearances.
In May 2021 he was transferred to SKA Saint Petersburg to continue his development at the highest domestic level. That summer he attracted NHL attention and was taken by the Nashville Predators 19th overall in the 2021 draft. Back in Russia he collected junior honours, winning the Kharlamov Cup in 2022 with SKA-1946.
On 31 July 2022 Svechkov was among nine players sent from SKA to Spartak Moscow in a trade for Alexander Nikishin. He spent the following season in Russia, adding the Petrov Cup in 2023 with Khimik Voskressensk. Once his KHL contract concluded, he signed a three-year entry-level deal with Nashville on 5 May 2023 and was assigned to the Milwaukee Admirals, Nashville’s AHL affiliate, as he adapted to the North American game.
Svechkov made his NHL debut on 23 November 2024 against the Winnipeg Jets and scored his first NHL goal a week later, on 30 November 2024, in a 3–2 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. On 23 March 2026 he agreed to a two-season contract with the Predators worth 2.5 million dollars, set to begin in 2027–28. Later, on 24 June 2026, he was traded to the Colorado Avalanche along with Zachary L’Heureux in a deal that sent Chase Bradley, Jack Drury and a 2029 third-round pick to Nashville.
Internationally, Svechkov represented Russia at the 2021 IIHF World U18 Championship, winning silver and posting 10 points in 7 games to finish fourth in team scoring. His game is defined by offensive skill and playmaking from the centre position, traits that have guided his rise through junior, KHL and NHL organizations.
