Amir Miftakhov a signé un contrat de 3 ans d'une valeur de 2 515 000 $ avec les Lightning de Tampa Bay, le 3 mai 2021. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 838 333 $.
I'm going to make a bold prediction here that Miftakhov plays an NHL game before Alnefelt. I think it's fair to value his KHL experience more than Alnefelt's SHL experience. I imagine we won't have the best of backups next season, and we'll see the #3 goalie like we've seen with Gibson this year. Whether that's Martin or Miftakhov I'd say TBD.
