Contract
But quietly, Rifai has established himself as a top-four AHL defenseman whose smooth skating and penchant for physicality carry him somewhat forward.

Scouting Report
“(Refai) is probably one of the best skaters in the entire organization,” Leafs assistant general manager of player development Hayley Wickenheiser told The Athletic in January 2023. “He’s physically explosive (and) powerful, covers a lot of ice and has a good shot. He’s tough.”
