Vladislav Namestnikov
Winnipeg Jets Center #7
13 years, 8 organisations, and a checking centre who keeps being useful enough to re-sign.

This Season So Far
The 2026-27 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
8 goals and 14 points in 60 games, minus-13, on under 14 minutes a night. The minus is the worst on the club among regulars and reflects both the assignment and a thin year.
The Finesse Game
Modest but real. He has scored 20 in a season, he can make a play off the wall, and he is comfortable on a power-play second unit. 145 goals in 846 games is a fair middle-6 career.
76 shots in 60 games is a low volume and the offence has been trending down for several years.
The Physical Game
6 feet and 181, and he plays a light, positional game. He is not a forechecker who wins pucks by force and does not go to the interior often.
The Intangibles
A first-round pick who never became a top-6 forward and made himself into a versatile depth centre instead — he can play either wing, kill penalties, and take a defensive-zone draw.
At 33, with the production falling, the value is entirely in flexibility. That is a role that gets handed to a younger player as soon as one is ready.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 21 points above where the numbers do. It was written with these numbers on screen and departs from them anyway, which makes the gap a judgment rather than an oversight. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 72 on their own scale — against every other report's mean. The numbers bar ranks his share of expected goals. A gap is a disagreement about where he belongs, not two scales talking past each other.

A top speed is a season's best, and a man who takes more shifts gets more tries at one; the percentile is the feed's own, against every skater, and says less between a top-pair defenceman and a fourth-line wing than it does between two men in the same job. The counts are shown per game for the same reason.

Share of his five-on-five ice time spent alongside each player, measured from shift charts. Special teams are excluded: a power-play unit is not a line.
Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2025-26
- The club
- WPG took 47.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.9% — 0.4 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 691 minutes at five-on-five — 29th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nino Niederreiter | 50.8% | 43.5% | 47.3% |
| Logan Stanley | 45.0% | 48.1% | 45.3% |
| Cole Perfetti | 46.3% | 47.2% | 50.3% |
50.8% together, 43.5% for him apart and 47.3% for Niederreiter apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
Expected-goal share while both were on the ice, and for each man in the minutes he played without the other. Apart is the pair subtracted from his own totals. It does not settle who was carrying whom — apart from each other, both were still playing with somebody — but it does say whether the share travelled when the pairing broke up.
Where he shoots from
goal on goal missed
110 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 10 feet. 43% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 18% from beyond forty.
