Wow, I am surprised it happened this quickly. He's certainly earned it.

 

[Critical13]

What a pleasant surprise this kid has been. I saw him twice last year and I honestly don’t remember him standing out. He’s definitely opening eyes now.

Give him 1 NHL game on the Matthews/Marleau line if Nylander isnt signed before sending him down to murder Juniors....


Good on the kid in reality though, amazing to get a preseason game and a contract as an undersized, super young 3rd round pick. Looks extremely promising!

How did he look today?

 

[TheDoldrums]

I know it's preseason but I can't get over the fact that this tiny kid was outmuscling Girgensons on multiple occasions to win board battles

All I hope that is if he makes it in the NHL as a good player - and stranger things have happened - his nickname isn't 'Arguchintsevy' or 'Arguchintsever' or any other unoriginal nickname.

He's The D.A.

And other teams will say 'The D.A was up our asses all night.'

I guess Dubas was as impressed as we all were over in the Leafs forum, because he signed his ELC immediately after the game



Congrats to Marner's little brother!

Kid looks like a player. Hoping he has a huge year in the OHL.

 

[Tryamkin]

Officially sent down, he's gonna tear it up this year.

 

[AppsSyl]

Officially sent down, he's gonna tear it up this year.

I hope so. He has looked really looked, and based on his camp looks like he could set the OHL ablaze.

*checks Icedogs website for tickets against the Petes...*

Good luck Semyon! Looking forward to seeing where your career goes.

 

[93LEAFS]

Smart to send him down in time for this weekends games. Hopefully, he and Nick Robertson click. But, Petes are generally a mess. They lost a significant upgrade in talent by not getting Cuylle to report.

Fun player, will be interesting to see where he's at in 2 years.

[Critical13]

That was pretty.

not a great start

not a great start

Yea not producing as much as we’d hoped. Hopefully things pick up. My understanding is that the while team has been bad so that doesn’t help.

They're 7-2 and first in the overall standings.

Welp, there goes that theory

So uh, is there still any hype for this kid who almost made the leafs?

He almost did what now.

Playing decent with Peterborough in the OHL right now. He's doing all the right things, but the points aren't really coming. Worst Plus/Minus on the team unfortunately.
