The only goalie to make our final 25 rankings this year, Artur Akhtyamov actually fell a bit from where we last had him ranked despite having a decent year and relatively few good and new prospects getting added into the system. This may be because of the general wariness around goalies, and goalie prospects in particular, or because he failed to cement himself as a KHL regular in his D+1 season despite his good numbers.
Weight: 157 lb
Acquired: 106th overall in 2020
A fourth round pick in 2020, Akthyamov plays in the Ak Bars Kazan system in Russia.
