[Battle Lin]

shouldnt he be with the marlies now? he isnt super young, hes same draft class as willie and kappy

He signed a 2-year KHL contract, just before he was drafted. Leafs hold his rights for another 10+ years.

I thought this thread was about Korshkov...

 

[Mess]

He signed a 2-year KHL contract, just before he was drafted. Leafs hold his rights for another 10+ years.

Teams own drafted Euro player rights for 4 years to align with NCAA drafted players.

CHL players its 2 years after draft.

 

[Neil Hamburger]

He looks like a much rawer JVR in his highlights. He has a similar skillset, but projects to be more of a 15 - 20 goal, 15 - 20 assist guy rather than a 30/30.

He will hopefully be ready for the NHL to start the 18/19 season, where he could very well be taking JVR's spot after he leaves as a UFA, or gets traded. He'll be 22 next October, and will have four full years of experience playing pro at a very high level in the KHL.

KHL/Russia have separate rules, there is no transfer agreement between the KHL and NHL, we hold his rights indefinitely

 

[therealkoho]

If the Leafs Drafted a player 31st overall without doing their homework on whether or not he was interested in coming over to North America we're in trouble.

no problem! they can wait on him, and depending how things go in the K this year they might bring him over to finish the season w/Marlies

I don't think it's because he didn't have interest, maybe he wasn't ready, maybe he's still learning English basics, who knows?

 

[Mr Hockey]

I am watching him play right now in a preseason game.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

I hope he can put on some weight so he is closer to the 247 that his dad Alexei played at.
He's got a long way to catch up but if he can he could be a great power forward.

247?? Maybe 227, but he's not going to be Dustin Byfuglien.

 

[Drew311]

Tall kid but really gangly. Kind of looks like a baby deer out there...although he seems effective. Nice hands, decent shot, good playmaking ability. Reminds me a bit of JVR with a little more grit. Will be interesting to see him fill out and get more lower body strength. Very interesting prospect.

Only while he is under contract to the KHL.

His current deal ends in June 2018.

Thoughts?

Only while he is under contract to the KHL.

His current deal ends in June 2018.

I think we have him pretty much locked up until he decides to come over and signs something.

Korshkov goal

 

[Mr Hockey]

This kid is going to step right into a top line role when he comes over.

 

[Kazparov]

This kid is going to step right into a top line role when he comes over.

in the NHL?

 

[djames]

No, he absolutely will not step into a top line role when he comes to the NHL.

 

[Menzinger]

If he manages to make the transition to the NHL he could potentially be used in a Hyman type role, but with his skill set you'd likely expect him to be in a middle of the lineup role. I mean he's been more or less playing on his current team's 4th line, no?

 

[Mr Hockey]

You guys should watch him play, I have already seen 2 of his games this year.

Practically a scout now

 

[Mr Hockey]

Practically a scout now

I just keep myself informed

 

[93LEAFS]

No, he absolutely will not step into a top line role when he comes to the NHL.

With a strong KHL season he could step into a complimentary role on our top line. Leafs seem to try to run a balanced top 9, so distinguishing who really is a top line player is useless. It's not like we (or most teams) put their 3 best players on a line. He has the skill to be a strong winger with a balanced game. Not expecting him to be a star, but the distinction of what is a top line is a bit over the top.

 

[AppsSyl]

When do you guys realistically see him making the leap to the NHL? After this coming season? I haven't seen full games of his play in the KHL, only clips.
