"Akhtyamov lost his starting job in the playoffs to backup Vladimir Mosin, a decision that wasn’t too surprising since Akhtyamov was only 5-6-0 with a .912 save percentage in games against the MHL’s top teams. In seven of those 12 games, he faced less than 30 shots."
Akhtyamov had one of the lightest workloads of any goalie in the league. Of the over 40 MHL goalies who appeared in 25 or more games, Akhtyamov saw only 25.98 shots per 60 minutes, which ranked him 32nd.
Additionally, Akhtyamov faced 30 shots or more in only 12 of his 45 appearances, and in those starts his save percentage (.915)
Artur Akhtyamov is 6'2 170lb, and drafted #106th over-all in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft out of Russia. He has some impressive VHL and MHL numbers. He is a goalie.
Not a fan of this pick. Bednar was the best goalie available, but I would have just waited until the late rounds to get a guy if they wanted someone as good as him.
His numbers are deceiving given the team he played on. He never played internationally, which is a red flag for any Russian.
