Roman Bausov News: Round 3 pick of Carolina

Bausov was the 87th overall pick by Carolina in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

Carolina has had plenty of success in recent years when it comes to drafting Russian defenders, and the Hurricanes are going back to the well here with Bausov. Checking in at a massive 6-foot-5, 190 pounds, Bausov is your typical stay-at-home rearguard. His puck skills are minimal, but between his size and reach, Bausov is a threat to shut down an offensive threat in an instant. A member of the Dynamo St. Petersburg program, Bausov will stay in Russia for the foreseeable future.
