RD Vladislav Sapunov - SKA-1946 St.Petersburg, MHL (2022 undrafted)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

A Russian right-shot defenseman, which isn't too common. He's been playing in older age groups for Russian junior national teams for a few years now. Defensive defenseman. I see him pretty similar to the left-handed Artyom Duda. He's not going to do a lot to get accolades, but he's a good player. I think he's very likely a pick in the upcoming draft. Probably a mid-rounder.

Might be an interesting target for Ottawa down the line. Who does he compare to?
