Rodion Amirov Facts
Drafted
2020 round 1 #15 overall by Toronto Maple Leafs
Amirov, 21, died on August 14, 2023, of brain cancer, in Munich, Germany.

He strikes with strong habits, deploying crossovers through arced attacks on the rush, made all the more potent with a nice variety of rush patterns through the neutral zone preceding these forays. His anticipation, the ability to see plays before they develop, is one of his high-level tools. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide

He has all the offensive tools to score as a pro.
