2025-26 season: 50 GP, 5 G, 7 A, 12 PTS, -3 +/-, 17:09 TOI. WAR 0.6 (96th of 325) · PAL 32, below average.
In 2025-26, Shakir Mukhamadullin, 24, posts a PAL Rating of 32 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of 0.6 ranks 96th among 325 regulars, in the top half.
His strengths: shooting (69, above average) and penalty kill (64, above average). On the other hand, creation (22, well below average) and possession (23, well below average) hold him back.

A marked decline: his PAL was 53 in 2024-25, against 32 now; his WAR, though, went from 0.2 to 0.6.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 42 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Shakir Mukhamadullin's story
Raised in Ufa, Shakir Mukhamadullin came up through the Salavat Yulaev development system, moving from MHL juniors into the KHL. He made his KHL debut on 3 September 2019 and scored his first senior goal on 5 September 2020, milestones that marked a rapid transition to pro hockey in Russia. Early statistical achievements highlighted his offensive instincts from the blue line.
Selected 20th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Mukhamadullin signed a three-year entry-level contract with New Jersey on 1 December 2021 while remaining on loan with Salavat to finish that season. After Salavat's playoff exit he was sent to the Devils' AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, and appeared in three Calder Cup playoff games, recording two assists — his first taste of North American pro postseason play.
Back in Ufa for 2022–23, he handled a larger role on Salavat's blueline and posted career highs with 6 goals and 25 points over 67 regular-season games. His path shifted on 26 February 2023 when he was included in a multi-player trade that sent him from New Jersey to the San Jose Sharks as part of a deal involving Timo Meier. He returned to North America in 2023, began the 2023–24 campaign with the San Jose Barracuda and earned a call-up on 25 January 2024, making his NHL debut two days later against the Buffalo Sabres.
Mukhamadullin remained in the Sharks organization long enough to re-sign a one-year deal in May 2025 before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers on 1 July 2026 alongside Zack Sharp in exchange for Darnell Nurse; he then signed a two-year, $3 million extension on 4 July. Internationally, he has been part of successful Russian junior teams: gold at the 2018 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, gold at the 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup (one assist in five games), silver at the 2019 IIHF U18s, and he scored the double-overtime winner that secured Russia’s first gold at the 2019 World Junior A Challenge.
On the ice, he is best described as a defenseman who can contribute offensively from the back end—breaking a KHL record for points by an 18‑year‑old blueliner and later producing career-high totals—while also taking on more defensive responsibility as his role expanded.
