Akhtyamov's Journey to the NHL
Akhtyamov had a great season in 2022-23, playing for Neftyanik Almetievsk in the VHL.
With an impressive record of 20 wins, 12 losses, and 6 ties, along with a low 1.74 goals against average and a strong .943 save percentage, it's no wonder the Leafs are interested in him.
The plan is to make him play in the KHL at some point this year, then, move to the NHL when he's ready.
An official announcement should be made soon.
