All it takes is one other team being high on him, and he's gone before that.
Draft after draft, and people still don't realize that prospects don't exactly end up within 5 spots of their averaged ranking.

Help is on the way.
Dirk loved him.....and that is enough for me.
He was a beast at the world Jr championship and has two pro years of hockey.
Scouts talk and teams know when there is interest in players....hence why we took him earlier then we normally would have.

Could be his performance at the WJC really impressed. Plus the game he plays seems like the type the Leafs will love to have when he's done his time in the KHL. Some great size, speed, and possession on the wings.

Can skate and has some grit ... there is a YT video of him fighting
So far we can avoid the whole endless small player debates ...

He could buy out his own contract, but as he is that young, I don't think he has the financial resources to do so.
We'd get in trouble if we did it.

Haven't heard much about him, but I'm excited to learn about him.
I don't think it matters if he was passed over. It means that his growth must have really excelled within the year to be taken.
Possible that he comes to play in North America this year?

I guess $11M doesn't buy you what it use to

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
Seems like a reasonable gamble to take if this kid is a late bloomer that scouts took notice of over the last year. We need power forward depth in the organization.
You say this as if you're on the draft floor. You have no idea what's happening out there.
People had this same reaction when we took Nielson last year and now that pick looks like a steal. Just relax.

Haven't heard much about him, but I trust our scouts.
And he gives us some size, that Mess wants so much.

Not going to pretend I have any clue as who this Russian player is who was passed over in two previous drafts, but I wonder why so many here have so much faith in Hunter. Passing on Konecny last year to trade down for Dermott looks like a fleecing to me, and Sebastien Aho was there for the taking who looks like a stud. These small skilled players like Bracco and Timashov have potential, but I have my doubts as to them making the NHL.

Korshkov said that a lot of teams talked to him and it sounds like the interest was high.

Exactly.
Hunter, Dubas and company must have really seen something in this kid to take a RW in this spot when we have obvious needs elsewhere. That tells me that they think he will be a good one. Fine with me.
