He's going to be in the KHl he can't just come over and terminate his contract mid way
Hopefully has a good season in the KHL in top 6 role
He's 1.5 to 2 years away at the moment

Your right he's signed his ELC but we will loan him and he is expected to play in the KHL in 2022 according to this article
Leafs sign Rodion Amirov to entry-level contract

Chris Johnson mentioned the loan part but his agent mentioned working with Toronto in both this and next off season. I could see him just staying with the Marlies. Adjusting to North American ice is a key point of his development

Especially considering he’s behind Robertson, Hallander and Anderson just in our system

He was a 19 year old in the 2nd best league in the world this season. I would look for him to take it up a level in the next year or two before he gets a shot in Toronto (Marlies/Leafs)
No rush, and he'll be a cheap ELC option for the 2nd or 3rd line when he's ready.

They should let him play. This team will never win anything anyways, might as well get some young players some experience. Rather lose with some fresh players than with the same old stale losers.

I like this. Stop screwing Sandin, Liljegren & Robertson over also. Let the kids play

Amirov and Hallander are two of exactly the type of player we need. I think Hallander can crack the lineup but Amirov is at least a year away.

I think people are desperate for quality cheap talent on this team, and are looking to rush our prospects.
Robertson as well - he's played 27 games of hockey in the last year and a half, is only 19 years old, hasn't looked very effective in the limited NHL games he has played, and was a late 2nd rounder. Generally even if a late 2nd rounders development goes really well, you're still looking at some time in the AHL to develop them. Yet half the people in here are penciling him onto one of our top 2 lines like it's a given that he can step in and put up ~45+ points as a rookie.

Of course there is. He's a Leaf prospect that nobody but a couple of people here have ever seen, which means he is clearly a top 6 NHL player.

He has been working hard this off season. His work ethic looks to be great. But he's going back to KHL for at least one more year then he will try his hand at making the Leafs.
