Prospect Info: 2020 1st Rd Selection - #15 OA - LW Rodion Amirov (RUS) - 6'0", 177lbs

[Phatic]

Meh, I think passing on Grans was a mistake.

 

[Morgs]

I had him 12th OA, and let me tell you, I loved him.

His weakness? He's not physical. He's fast, has a great shot/goes to the dirty areas., fantastic playmaker, fantastic in transition and good defensively. So f***ing happy it wasn't Guhle or Schneider.

 

[Anthrax442]

Its RodiON aMEErov if anyone wants to know

 

[Dion TheFluff]

love this pick!

 

[Drew311]

Looked like Dubas was close to trading that pick.

 

[stickty111]

Faith in Dubas based on his previous first draft selections.

Plus he's 6 feet tall

Comparables?

Ehlers

 

[LeafSteel]

Underwhelmed with this, but, in typical (disappointed) Leaf fashion will hope for the best.

 

[Voodoo Child]

It's kind of hard to complain - I'm unimpressed with the D crop this year, including Drysdale and Sanderson, Grans is toolsy but can he put it together?

Askarov, Perfetti and Jarvis were off the board already.

Nice pick. Say what you want to about Dubas but he's a savvy drafter.

 

[horner]

Meh

unless we start trading some of our skilled forwards for a young rdman or some quality bittom six forwards .
dosent make any sence to me .

start making a team dubas .

 

[sxvnert]

LW depth: Mikheyev, Amirov, Robertson, Korshkov

 

[The CyNick]

Small skilled player. Shocking pick.

 

[Warden of the North]

I know nothing about this kid.

Hope he turns out

I know it needs context but a stat line of 21gp0g2p doesnt exactly make me thrilled.

 

[TimeZone]

Hell of a pick Dubas, hell of a pick. High skill, great 2way game.

The real deal here folks. He was my favorite for #15

 

[kk87]

Seems like a pretty un-polarizing pick, hard to be upset with this one. Moreso just upset with how the board played out. Amirov seems to have pretty solid upside, and is looking good in the KHL this year

 

[Kelly]

I dont like his name.... bad pick.

 

[The Podium]

I had him 12th OA, and let me tell you, I loved him.

His weakness? He's not physical. He's fast, has a great shot/goes to the dirty areas., fantastic playmaker, fantastic in transition and good defensively. So f***ing happy it wasn't Guhle or Schneider.

Agreed, disappointed because I wanted some other players to fall, but from whats left he was easily the BPA

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Bad pick.

Another soft Euro who you never know if he will show up or be invisible.
A Kyle Dubas special,fits right in with what we already have.
This GM has got to go.

LOL Amirov is not soft at all..stop posting bs

 

[Gabriel426]

Reminds me a lot of Point

Don’t tease me like that

 

[phillipmike]

Faith in Dubas based on his previous first draft selections.

Plus he's 6 feet tall

Comparables?

Panarin and Kucherov.

 

[francis246]

f***ing Dubas. I don’t hate it but I don’t love it. Just more of the same of what we already have

 

[pylon17]

I'll allow it.

 

[Maplebeasts]

This guy is a good, good prospect. One of the few guys outside of the top 11 that I pegged as a potential star. Great skating, IQ, hands and a deceptively good shot.

[kb]

Love these draft hero superstars
