Drafted Prospects

Rodion Amirov

LW - 19 years old - shoots left - second pro year primarily in the KHL

Amirov returned to the MHL for playoffs after his KHL team was eliminated, and he’s got three assists in four games played so far. His team is in the semifinals against Dynamo Moscow’s junior club, but they are down two games to none in a best-of-five series, so it’s quite the climb to get to the finals.
