The Carolina Hurricanes have reportedly signed KHL netminder Amir Miftakhov to a one-year deal.
The deal is a two-way contract that will pay Miftakhov $775,000 at the NHL level and $100,000 at the AHL level, with a $240,000 guarantee.
The Russian goalie had a 13-11-3 record with Ak Bars Kazan last season with a 0.927 save percentage.
The 25-year-old was drafted in 2020 by the Tampa Bay Lightning and spent just one season in North America before returning to Russia.
Over the last three seasons, Miftakhov has had a 0.927 save percentage, 0.930 and a 0.917.
It provides the Canes with additional goaltending depth, a position that they were severely lacking in.
