Johnsson - Matthews - Korshkov(Kapanen traded)

[Crysis]

Take a look at our second line for next season guys.
Korshkov will accept the 2-2.5m they want to sign Kappy for and he's a RW to boot. I think it will work out pretty well actually.

50-60p / 95-105p / 50-60p very possible.

Discuss.

Edit: Turns out he would be on an entry level contract so even better(depending on bonus structure).

No thanks. Kap has proven he is TOP6.

The cap doesn't care about that.

 

[1specter]

Korshkov has to prove himself first before going straight to our first line lol

 

[Menzinger]

Korshkov may not even be a 4th liner in the NHL...

 

[Crysis]

Fine. Maybe not right out of training camp....or maybe?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Even better Korshkov will get an ELC which is cheaper, which means we can trade Johnsson and replace him with Kara now too. I’d pretend to make some sense instead but that’s not where this thread seems to be headed.

 

[BlueForever75]

Too early to crown Koroshov a top 6 forward. He needs to earn his stripes per say!!!

Wouldn't mind bringing him over to play 3rd line minutes. He with Kadri would look great. Bring him over for Lindholm money on 2 yr deal. If he works out, sign him longer term. Im sure he would be making more here then in Russia.

Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Kapanen-Kadri-Koroshov
Moore-Gauthier-Petan

^^^ The lineup above is impossible due to the laws of math in a cap world. Everyone needs to prepare to move Kapanen because he's not signing for beans...

Muzzin being brought in to replace Gardiners cap hit was the end of Kappy.

I think you just badly want Korshkov in the NHL more then anything.
He has 5 points in 19 games and is injury prone. Is he even a good KHL player right now? Korshkov is not getting 50-60 points in the NHL.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Korshkov? The meh looking prospect who has barely played any hockey the past year? No thanks

He was a bad pick, absolute long shot to make the NHL at this point

Sorry bud but I think your out to lunch. You do understand that there are other contracts that can be dealt to allow that to happen right!!!

As you can see in my lineup there are 3 forwards missing from todays lineup.

 

[TheScandal89]

He needs to prove himself as others mentioned. Plus I remember he's taking an absolutely brutal knee injury that may hinder his career.

Didn't notice. Okay you have found someone to take on Marleau....hopefully you're right.

Hunter is looking more and more foolish on the pick.

They wanted him to come over before the season so he can't be that bad. Gotta throw him on Matthews wing for a stretch to see what you have imo. Never know.

Hold up, are you saying a guy with 5 points in 19 games in an inferior league might put up 50-60 points next season?

Ofcourse they want him to come over, he is a prospect. It doesn't mean he is good.
I would throw Orr on Matthews wing, it might work out.

Theres a difference between "can't be that bad", and "50-60 points"

Is he playing on Matthews wing there? Could have a spark.

He could put up those numbers in the ECHL.

Comparing a SKILL player like Korshkov to Orr is laughable...

By this logic, why not just sign a player to league minimum salary and hope he gets 50-60 points next to Matthews.

Matthews is really really good, but he can't make fringe NHL players into 50-60 point players

You gotta find out if you have anything on a 2nd round pick before you give up on him IMO.
Will be interesting to see what happens with him this summer.

his 5 in 19 games shows how skilled he is. Korshkov is an average prospect.
