Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Rodion Amirov has died, his agent Dan Milstein announced Monday. He was 21.
"We will always remember [Amirov's] courage, his desire, his will, his smile, all of the great things about him. We’d like to thank his doctors, who took great care of him. We’d like to thank the Toronto Maple Leafs and his KHL — Salavat Yulayev Ufa — team. Both did everything possible to help in any way, do whatever was necessary for Rodion and the Amirov family," Milstein posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
