Miftakhov is smart, crafty, and boasts plenty of speed. He utilizes his size well by blending a well-positioned game with plenty of speed. He doesn't leave himself vulnerable often, and he doesn't mind coming out to challenge shots. His skating, hockey sense, and decision-making stand out among the draft class. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
