Alexander Plesovskikh selected 152nd overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs

Plesovskikh is one of the youngest players in the draft as an August 2006 birthday, so he is not even 18 years old yet. Elite Prospects lists him at 6’2?, 174 lbs. in their draft guide, compared to 6’0? online, so Plesovskikh may have had a recent growth spurt (quite possible for a player that young). He’s a right-shooting left winger and a native of Tyumen, Russia, having spent the last two seasons playing with Mamonty Yugry.

Plesovskikh has scored at a pretty similar clip the last two seasons, notching 15 points in 36 games in 2022-23 and 17 points in 33 games in 2023-24.
