Broken collarbone? He must be too small.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Tough injury to have.

Speedy recovery I hope.

If only he was playing in NA he wouldn't be injured. Wouldn't be a good prospect anymore, but at least he wouldn't be injured.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Not bad. Atleast it wasn’t a lower body

 

[Namikaze Minato]

After such a promising start too, hopefully he doesnt rush himself and gets to 100% before returning.

 

[Makaveli]

Season debut, great primary assist!

 

[Namikaze Minato]

PPG in the KHL, probably looking at the olympic team captain.

 

[TopChedder]

This kid will be a GEM of a pick.

What a great choice.

World juiniors right?

I think he meant WJS, it wouldn't be Olympics.

Okay that’s what I thought. I don’t think the focus should be on whether he takes in a leadership role ok the team, just focusing on racking up the points will be good for his development.

Isn't eligible for WJC. Too old. Not that I think he'll somehow captain a team that will likely have Ovechkin and Malkin, or even make the team.

He meant to be funny, you somehow missed it.

 

[TopChedder]

He meant to be funny, you somehow missed it.

Oh my bad lol I totally did.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Is this kid in the new NHL game? I know hes in the KHL but he did sign an NHL contract... just curious for anyone with the game.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Kid cant catch a break so far this season.

Nice to see Amirov get back in some games, get a goal, and actually get decent minutes!

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Fun little video somebody put together on Rodion.

Since he is signed and a top prospect, hard to imagine a scenario where he isn't in North America next season. With the slow season he's having though he is not ready, he needs another year or two after this one before the NHL. Looking at players like Chinakhov who is around the same level and came over a bit early imo, Amirov should stay in the KHL until ready

That depends if his coach keeps insisting he doesn't see a spot for Amirov in his lineup or not. At the very least the Leafs will play him in premium minutes in a premium league. Can't say the same about Ufa right now.

Yes his team is hard to break into. It's not guaranteed the Leafs would give him good top 6 ice time. I think he can still develop well with 1-2 more years in Ufa. Let's not forget he had an injury before the season started.

I think he's saying we'd give him prime minutes in the AHL.
