Johnsson - Matthews - Korshkov(Kapanen traded)

[stickty111]

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.

Then why did the Leafs trade Durzi? He was a 2nd round pick and they didn't find out if there was anything there.

I understand the importance of finding out what he is, but you literally just made Kapanen expendable in favour of Korshkov, AND proposed that he would get 50-60 points

Would be great to see Korshkov stick with the Leafs at some point. However, if Kapanen is moved, I'd expect Nylander to be RW on the Matthews line.

This seems like a weird forced thread. Are you him or his agent?

He’s is doing terribly in the KHL so no I don’t think we should gift him a spot on Matthew’s wing. I’d like to see him develop more over here for sure but he’s a long shot.

 

[deletethis]

Marginal KHL player in 2018-19, 1st line NHL winger in 2019-20. Makes sense.

Korshkov is a an overage draft pick by Hunter that has failed miserably. Leaf fans need to accept that he's a bust and never will be an NHLer which is sad considering who was taken after him. I'm glad Hunter is gone.

 

[Einzakin]

???? Korshkov has regressed and will probably not be a regular NHLer.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Korshkov has had a projection as more of a complementary top nine guy since his draft+1 year, and at this point I'm unsure if he'll be more than a depth option.

At the moment I have a hard time seeing him leave the KHL when he won’t be offered a lock for a roster spot.

Maybe the lure of a chance at the nhl might change it, but I’d imagine he’d be taking a pay cut if he ended up on the Marlies for the season

 

[tmlms13]

You know who would look even better in that spot?

Alex DeBrincat.

Hunter probably would have seem him a lot considering London and Erie played eachother in the playoffs that year and the year before. Probably mad cause Erie was crushing the OHL for those 2 years

 

[Spirit of 67]

Is Korshkov coming over?

This idea is way beyond presumptuous.

 

[jrgtml67]

Lol what? 5 pts in the KHL this year...its make more sense if you said Moore or Bracco.

Him or Carter Hart seem the big misses. I probably wouldn’t have taken Carter since I’m not a fan of using 1-2nd round picks on goalies, but was disappointed about skipping over DeBrincat

I can see them passing on Hart with Freddie in the system. I don't mind using high picks on goalies. It is the most important position in the NHL (see Calgary last night).

If DeBrincat was 4 inches taller he'd have been a top 10 pick. I bet Dubas would have picked him skill over size

 

[Macallan18]

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.

lol no.
Still bummed we wasted a pick on Korshkov. Will he ever even come here? Is he any good at all?
Could have had Debrincat.

Be glad that Hunter didn't try and get cute at 1st overall and take Laine. It was speculated that a couple teams in the top 10 had Laine 1st, Colorado being one of them. Also, the Marner draft, under pressure from Babcock, the fanbase and media he didn't take Hanifin. He also got a gem in Marner, will probably be the 2nd best player of that draft, which is certainly saying something. I don't think most teams would have taken Marner at 4. He made the right picks where it counted, I can't fault him too much for taking gambles with the later picks.

 

[notDatsyuk]

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

Not necessarily a 'bad pick', although I would have thought second or third round. A long shot, and not bad if you have lots of good players in your system, but I would have preferred a defenceman with that pick.

 

[Cor]

"Koshkov will accept the 2-2.5"

Uhhhh, he needs to sign an ELC first.

 

[BorntoLose]

Lol lets be real how many people have even seen footage of Korshkov play?

 

[MattySnipes]

The cap doesn't care about that.

Nice. I don't care for players who haven't proven shit but need to be put on top two lines right away.

 

[skacore]

Is this Korshov's agent?

 

[Crysis]

I see something here. You're telling me he wouldn't put up points with Matthews? He's big and has hands. Not that fast but could probably keep up.

Par Lindholm had one assist this year that made him look like a star. Lots of NHL players can do the things. Doesn't mean they can put up 50-60 points
