The Toronto Maple Leafs have selected Russian winger Rodion Amirov with the 15th overall pick in the NHL draft.
The Leafs acquired the first-round pick this summer in a deal that sent forward Kasperi Kapanen to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Russian has three goals and two assists in 10 games with Ufa this season.
