His post was taken down.

My guess is it probably wasn't to be leaked, but I believe he'll be with the team tomorrow.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Awesome.

 

[saltming]

Nice!
Goat spezza Korshkov
That's like almost 700lbs of forwards right there

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Might as well get him in a few games to prepare for next year.

Or there may be a trade. I thought the 4th line was pretty solid.

Wonder if something is brewing, or just because of Johnsson injury.

Probably want to give him a look in Timashov's place to see if he can keep up .. Timashov has been ok but Korshkov adds some more size on the wing and I believe the Leafs are still looking at moving Timashov.

He deserves it

I watch a lot of Marlies games and he's been very positive, hands, skating, defensive awareness and some physicality

He's a nice package of attributes

 

[showtime8]

I like that he brings another element to the line-up. Don't know if he'll play.

Someone in the Marlies thread mentioned the Marlies played Friday & Saturday. It would be a lot to ask him to play Sunday.

 

[Smif]

Basically, he's Timashov with size, no?

 

[Nylander88]

Wonder if he's up if they'll give him a look with actual ice time instead of 4th line. Bottom 6:
Korshkov-Spezza-Kapanen
Clifford-Engvall-Timashov

 

[Crysis]

Is he really the best there is to try and get in the playoffs? How does Agostino not get called up?
This is a move you make if you're planning for next season isn't it?

He's an upgrade over Timashov and Gauthier both.

That's encouraging. Be nice to get a positive impact player after who the Leafs passed up on in the second round.

As opposed to 600lbs at the NHL average weight? I find this stuff weird for some reason haha.

In seriousness though, Clifford and Korshkov on the same line might be fun to watch

 

[Twowingcantfly]

I love this move. Excellent 2 way player. Would love to see him centering 3rd or 4th line to start. Someone mentioned good move for next year. I say he is ready now. This guy brings center depth to this team finally..

Possibly both...

He's certainly going to help

We passed on some nice players but at least Korshkov is starting to justify the pick

Were trying to prevent goals against...not cause more

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Hopefully he develops into a decent bottom six winger, wouldn't want that pick to be a waste

 

[Clark4Ever]

I think he's the next logical call up, and he should have more of an impact than Gauthier or Timashov.

 

[CelticDruid]

Awesome news.

Clifford spezza korshov
Or
Clifford Gauthier korshkov

We may have a crash and bang line .

Clifford show him how to hit every shift

This kid has a real mean streek

 

[horner]

He wiil be a great net presence immovable object

And great on the cycle
