Magomesultanov, a left-handed defenseman, put up a single goal and 7 points for Loko Yaroslavl in the MHL this past season. Though a very raw prospect, Magomedsultanov brings a sizeable frame at 6-foot-3. He\u2019s described as an aggressive player who has potential NHL upside. He was the second defenseman selected by the San Jose Sharks, behind second-round selection Simon Wang.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering he has one of the best tools foundations in this Russian class, we could see a team draft Ilyas Magomedsultanov in the late rounds of the draft, trusting their development team to transform him into an NHLer,\u201d Elite Prospects said<\/a>. \u201cHis aggressive style led to some misses when he would overpressure his check, opening up passing lanes or leaving higher-priority spots on the ice, but Magomedsultanov was generally effective in his approach. He helped his team control shifts by eliminating threats and getting the puck back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neutral Zone Hockey said<\/a>, \u201cWhile his offensive instincts are still raw and his north-south skating mechanics need improving, he defends the rush with purpose, supports play responsibly, and blocks shots at a high rate. He has MHL top-four value today and could develop into a reliable, low-maintenance, third-pair NHL defenseman if his puck decisions and skating stride are cleaned up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The San Jose Sharks\u2019 next pick in the 2025 NHL Draft is scheduled to be the No. 124 selection of the fourth round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Magomesultanov, a left-handed defenseman, put up a single goal and 7 points for Loko Yaroslavl in the MHL…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":22813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[12956,1322,20817,293,1328,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-22812","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-2025-draft","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-ilyas-magomedsultanov","11":"tag-nhl","12":"tag-san-jose-sharks","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
