Confirmed with Link: Leafs have signed W Ilya Mikheyev to a 1 year ELC

[Bluelines]

Playing with Matthews, he’ll lead the league in off season goals by a right winger.

This opens up a Nylander trade to CBJ for Seth Jones

Nylander is super talented but man, with his effort on the ice, he makes it hard to cheer for him. He is such a mercurial guy with is effort and consistency.

Jones is not the guy I would want in a Nylander trade, Salvin or Parayko have been the 2 guys that have been #1A and #1B on my trade list for a year. If we have to add that is fine with me.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Who is that big Russian forward that we drafted again? I forget his name

Korshkov

Korshkov

Thank you, it's been awhile since I checked up on him.

It's a shame he looks to have stalled a bit these last couple of years

Let’s say the other GMs got really drunk at the GM meetings and Dubas was somehow able to get some unsavoury pics and videos and was then able to make one of these trades; you’re telling me you wouldn’t a take really good #1 defenceman for Nylander?

Nylander and who?

no way on earth CBJ does that 1 for 1.

 

[smitty10]

The guy had one dominant season 6 years ago, then its pretty much AHL 1st/2nd line tweener stats since. MEH!

He's 24 and just had his best season?

meanwhile the midget drafted a few picks after scored 40 goals

That dominant season was in the MHL, please be informed.

He's steadily improved every season since.

That midget has more goals in a season than the mighty auston Matthew's and they were drafted in the same year lol

But good point.

And yet some think hunter is a God at drafting.

Lots of us fans wanted debrincat at the time or girard.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Here we are, in a thread discussing a player that our club is interested in signing, and we have people complaining about picks we didn’t make in a draft 3+ years ago.

It never fails. Try to have a discussion, and watch the miserable folks flood in and de-rail it, no matter the topic.

If he was 3 inches taller he'd have been in the top 10.

I was hoping The Hawks won the lottery.... Team midget. Hughes 5'10 170, Kane 5'10 175, Cat 5'7 165

I'm by no means the most knowledgeable on him of the posters here (there are many in the stickied Marlies thread), but my understanding is he's dealt with at least 1 very serious leg injury that sidelined him for a long time. He still may have some potential. Can sign and come over here after April 30th when his contract ends.

Sure I would but I've never like Jones game.

 

[AreBe]

Oh no! Another skilled player!
Oh no! More analytics!

Oh no! European speed, skill, play-making and a misplaced commitment to excellence instead of a commitment to the Don Cherry code and some rock 'em sock 'em slayer!

Oh no! Let's hope we lose tonight so that we can bring back toughness and stop this embarrassing speedy skill experiment and fight to have the NHL regress to pre - Post concussion syndrome aware days, and so Dubas gets fired and he takes his stupid analytics elsewhere! No! Enough,No to RW Ilya Mikheyev! No more mathematics!

 

[AllDay28]

Just make sure he is under 5”5 and we’ll take him np

i bet you thought the Marner drafting was bad too..

 

[SprDaVE]

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Korshov. Believe he coming to North America (Marlies) to start next season. At age 23, probably a one year shot to see if NHL good enough.

 

[A4T1L6]

I want Yelesin

 

[DanM]

Is this guy decent?

I don't know much about him, but all the teams seem to want him.

 

[93WrapAround]

I'm sure Babs would love another skilled player to bury on the 4th line. He's probably bored sick of shafting Moore and Ennis by now, needs some fresh meat.

 

[SprDaVE]

Is this guy decent?

I don't know much about him, but all the teams seem to want him.

He's had some good growth in his game from what I've read. Scoring leader of his team as a 24 year old. Good size and very good skater.

No risk medium reward.

 

[Alerion]

As per usual, this is a good low risk move. If it doesn't pan out, whatever. If it does then we get a cheap player.

Can't believe the usual suspects have already derailed this thread into another "Nylander has no effort" crap fest. Wish we could crack down on that zero effort posting.

Good to hear!

Free wallets are always nice

I know: toss in Kappanen or Johnsson!
Destruction of the Dubas analytics and method era- for Leafs Nation lots of fun!
Get these young speedsters out of town! Bring back Earl Thompson!
These playoffs are boring! Leafs season needs to end and then we lie in the sun!

 

[The Podium]

He lead a KHL in scoring as a 24 year old, top 20 in the entire league.
