Nikita Klepov
Right Wing · Anaheim Ducks · Rookie
Drafted 15th overall (Round 1), 2026 · $1.1M entry-level deal through 2029
Nikita Klepov has not played an NHL game yet, so there are no NHL stats to show. What follows is the HighDanger projection for the incoming rookie, drawn from a comparables model on every drafted skater since 2005.
HighDanger projection
Rookie is the projected first NHL season; Prime is the projected best season of a player's prime, roughly ages 24 to 28. These are preseason estimates, recalculated once Klepov has played 10 NHL games.
Upside comp
Patrick Kane
The last OHL rookie to win the scoring title was Kane in 2007; at his ceiling Klepov's playmaking off the wing points the same way.
