What factors contributed to other NHL teams overlooking Nikita Kucherov in the draft?
Nikita Kucherov is considered a draft steal in the NHL due to a combination of factors that led to him being overlooked by other teams during the draft. Several sources shed light on the reasons behind this phenomenon.
One factor that contributed to Kucherov being passed over in the draft was his physical attributes. According to a post on Reddit, some teams may have overlooked him because of his height 39. Similarly, The Edmonton Journal mentions that Kucherov, along with other players like Brayden Point, were overlooked by multiple teams due to physical considerations 41. This suggests that his stature may have been a concern for some teams during the draft process.
Another reason for Kucherov being considered a draft steal is linked to the general reluctance of NHL teams to draft players from Russia. As highlighted in an article by The New York Times, there was a certain hesitancy among teams to select Russian players during the draft 43. This may have contributed to Kucherov falling lower in the draft than his talent warranted.
Overall, the combination of physical attributes playing a role in teams passing him over and the general cautiousness towards drafting Russian players likely led to Kucherov being overlooked. As a result, his subsequent success in the NHL has solidified his status as a draft steal.

His performance on the ice has significantly contributed to the team's achievements over the years.
According to a piece by The Hockey News 48, Kucherov currently leads the NHL in points, showcasing his exceptional skill and ability to make a difference in games. His contributions have been instrumental in the Lightning's success, as highlighted in various sources.
In addition, a draft history analysis by Raw Charge 44 discusses the trend of Russian players, like Kucherov, making their mark in the NHL. Kucherov's success story aligns with this narrative, further underscoring the significance of his draft selection for the Lightning.
Furthermore, articles such as the one from Bolts by the Bay 49 commend the Lightning's General Manager, Steve Yzerman, for astutely drafting Kucherov in 2011. This decision has proven to be one of Yzerman's best moves, emphasizing the importance of identifying talent like Kucherov in later rounds of the draft.
Overall, Kucherov's draft position and subsequent impact on the Tampa Bay Lightning illustrate why he is considered a draft steal.
