LD Nikita Tyurin - MHK Spartak Moskva, MHL (2025 Draft)

[Castle8130]

Didn't see a thread on this kid. He is a couple months shy of being 2026 draft elgible. He is a very impressive skater. I can't say I have followed him too much aside from the video I'm posting, but based on his elite prospects page, he went from Russiau18 last year to playing a significant role on a quality MHL team this year. I was also surprised to see he got called up for a KHL and VHL game. That is a massive jump. From the looks of it, he is closer to 6'1"/6'2" than his listed height of 6'0", but I could be wrong. Usually Russian prospect heights are off on elite prospects. Out of all the Russian prospects this year, he might be the best skater.

Certainly not the best skater in Russia this year.
