Big, strong, mobile, offensively productive right-shot defenceman are highly coveted by all NHL organizations. Artyom is a prospect who fits the description.
Levshunov is off to a fantastic start this season. It's a difficult ask for a defenceman who's only 18 years young to take a regular shift at the NCAA level. Artyom isn't shy about directing pucks on net. He's been credited with 31 shots on goal and contributed 4g-8a. He's also a (+13).
Levshunov is a solid skater with room to improve his small area escapes and agility (walking the offensive blue line for example). But he doesn't cut corners in any zone, leans on opponents, and plays with a presence. He could end up finding a home as a top pairing NHL 'D' in time.
