Leafs could be looking to add KHL forward Sergei Andronov this off-season.

Andronov is a former St. Louis Blue pick, and currently has 11 points in 38 games, playing for CSKA Moscow

lol no one knows who he is looking at ….also probably meeting with some European scouts
dubas keeps his mouth shut ,no since the nylander fiasco even more

Why does Dreger say at 1.5-2 mil next season? Is this how much he has to get paid? Or is this how much his agent is asking for?

 

[DarkKnight]

If you think Rielly is enough, well !

He's a number 1D stop face palming and pay attention.

What was the name of the LA prospect in Russia linked to the Leafs two (?) summers ago?

Thanks Captain Obvious, I have used phones for over half a century, so, I'm well aware of their existence.

I trust that Dubas is scouting for all our needs while in Russia, however, if we're going to make a run at the cup this season, before cap armageddon next season, Dubas needs to shore up our D with a partner to play with Rielly. That should be his priority IMHO.

So is he sitting in his office calling every team and asking for their best D?

What would you trade for this D?

Is he refusing any other business? “Sorry Rasmus, I cant give my input on your developmental path until I get a #1 dman”

“Sorry Chia, can’t take Puljujarvi for a 7th cause I have to get a #1 dman”

Well you see he never said Rielly is enough. He just stated that he is a number one D which is what you said we should be looking for.

Now that is cleared up. You’re welcome.

Yeah I have the same question. Why is it ‘it’s too rich for us’? Why can’t we negotiate?

an added 1.5/2m cap hit for a 3rd /4th line tweener next year just adds to our cap issues.

Lets say he inks for 2m,,,,we could use a 750k AHLr on the 4th line instead

something tells me ,we are going to need every extra 1.25m we can get.

i would guess he makes 1m per tax free there,.

Sounds like it's his asking price. He's an older free agent (in comparison to our recent European signings) and if enough teams are interested, I suppose it could be attainable.

Rielly needs a better partner than Hainsey. You are entitled to think otherwise!

Thanks.

Seems like a who cares kind of target. Maybe they're secretly eyeing the 140 pound guy in the corner with the goofy hair who turns out is the next Artemi Panarin but want to keep it hush hush.

Nikolai Prokhorkin.

 

[Stephen]

Mikhail Grigorenko would be a great center to pick up, he's a big Center 6'.3" and only 24 years old and with Zaitsev and Ozhiganov, easing him on the team, he is a good 2way player and could help a lot on the PK.

Hey, isn't Mikhail Grigorenko only 18 years old?

 

[DarkKnight]

You said we need a 1D, don't move the face palm posts.

 

[Rare Jewel]

That's likely the range in which it would be worth it for him to play over here next season.


I'm pretty we don't want someone on that much for the 4th line.

I think all the face palming has affected things lol.

Okay, we need a 1B D to go with our 1A D we already have in Rielly!

Oh and...

When he was drafted 12 over all Buffalo 2012 he was 18 but after a stint with Buffalo he spent 2 years with the Colorado he then played in the KHL 2 years and is now 24.

No, it's just a joke about how people thought he was actually 20 years old when he was 18.
