F*ck cancer - RIP Fugu and Buffaloed
Reserved for the Leafs 7th round selection in the 2018 draft
Two semyon's? Didn't know it was a common name
Apparently pronounced Sea-men.... I'm not kidding, though the jokes are going to be coming soon.

Should've drafted Gogolev from the Petes with this pick
His offensive output is not far off of Grigori Denisenko's, the 15th overall pick.
They are reputable, but not necessarily good for development. St. Petersburg is notorious for bringing in expensive free agents which is bad because it limits minutes rookies like chebykin. The book is still out on kazan but kara will get vhl minutes most likely. Yaroslavl gives top minutes to older players even when korshkov is homegrown and does what’s asked of him (and im bearish on korshkov).I hope he is willing to come to the CHL through the Import Draft. Would be nice to work with him more closely and see him over here. He could be a late 1st or a 2nd round pick, which could put him on a much better team than he is on Russia. The Togillati program is one of the worst out there, and one of the teams that has trouble paying its players. I would be shocked if Leafs management is satisfied with keeping him there. At least the places our other prospects play are some of the better ones (Ufa, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yaroslavl).

The one advantage of playing for a club like togliatta is he could outplay other players and get top minutes but russian leagues appear to be bureacratic. Chl would be great if he goes to a team that gives him top line minutes. I prefer it if he dominates mhl, then plays in the echl.
