The prediction market for Nikita Klepov being drafted in the top 3 of the 2026 NHL Draft is highly unlikely, with a current probability of 0.95%. The bull case is almost nonexistent given his draft eligibility timeline and projected draft position.
Klepov could be drafted in the top 3 if he experiences a meteoric rise in performance, surpassing all current projections due to exceptional skill development or injuries to higher-ranked prospects. A dominant international tournament performance (e.g., World Juniors) could also catapult his draft stock.
Klepov is overwhelmingly likely to be drafted outside the top 3 due to his current draft-eligible class being strong in top-end talent, his projected mid-to-late first-round standing, and the historical rarity of top-3 picks for players of his profile. No top-3 pick has occurred in the last 5 NHL Drafts for a player not already ranked in the top tier by scouting agencies.
