- Maple Leafs goaltending prospect Artur Akhtyamov will play next season in their farm system, his agent Dan Milstein confirmed to Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun. The 22-year-old Russian was a fourth-round pick of Toronto back in 2020 and has put up great numbers in his native country since, culminating in a .921 SV% and 2.51 GAA in 17 games for KHL side Ak Bars Kazan this season. He was signed to his entry-level contract last summer and is projected to compete for time with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies in 2024-25.
