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.
