Vladimir Proskurin is a goaltender selected by the St. Louis Blues in the fourth round (123rd overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft — and a classic diamond-in-the-rough story. Born May 28, 2008 in Moscow, the 6-foot-1 netminder came up in the CSKA Moscow system and posted a 2.97 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage over 41 MHL games, frequently facing 35-plus shots a night.
Elite Prospects goalie scout Max Lee made him his "bet to be that hidden gem" of the draft, praising not just his athleticism but his elite body control and a discipline Lee describes as the "five flashlights" technique — head, both hands, chest and stick all pointed at the puck. Two scouts independently called him the biggest riser they tracked this season, and Lee placed his late-round-steal pedigree in the company of Hellebuyck, Shesterkin, Swayman and Wolf.
