Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Alexander Barabanov to 1 year ELC

[ACC1224]

Not sure he is "constantly" used as a source of information. I do see him being mocked however.

I definitely don't consider him a source of anything.

I wonder if TSN realizes he's a fraud?

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Pretty simple. If his mouth is moving and sounds are coming out, he's making it up.

Here here. You nailed it. Once his source went away he has been click bait since. I wonder why TSN has kept him on.

 

[LeafChief]

Arizona can likely guarantee him top 9 minutes. I'm not sure we can.

Many didn't think we could offer Mikheyev top 9 minutes either.

Many didn't think we could offer Mikheyev top 9 minutes either.

Now Mikheyev is probably in our top 6, if Barabanov is good enough he'll play

Quite a bit to I'd imagine

"Why would he choose Toronto?"

"Why would he choose Toronto?"

Just saw that too! Nice to see TO is a desirable place to play now

Dan Milstein is like my favourite agent now

 

[Anthrax442]

Good. Now do Grigorenko

He became my favorite agent when Vasilevsky signed a 9.5M AAV deal. At least one deal where the Lightning got zero discounts.

Lou would have signed him yesterday.

Another munchkin, SMDH Dubass

 

[TMLeafer]

Nice! So happy to see regular NHL news.

 

[Marshy]

Not sure there's a place for Korshkov next year. Could see him going to the K he can make a lot more there than on the Marlies.

 

[Anthrax442]

Can Barabanov play this season if its back ?

 

[ottomaddox]

Can he bang like Yushkevich? Does he have a heart like Markov? Can he play Defense?

I don't recall it being reported the NYI had any interest.

 

[ChazzMichaelMichaels]

We badly need cheap depth, excited to have Barabanov on board.

His scouting report and everything I've read makes me think of Ennis.

 

[ACC1224]

Can he bang like Yushkevich? Does he have a heart like Markov? Can he play Defense?

He's a winger.

Can he bang like Yushkevich? Does he have a heart like Markov? Can he play Defense?

He might free up 3.4M of cap space to use for a defenceman.

Barabanov in, Johnsson out.

 

[The90]

That one kid from Brantford turned out ok.

Is that the one who was the same size as marner? The 6’ 170 fella

 

[Crysis]

Can Barabanov play this season if its back ?

Says it's for next season.

 

[saltming]

that’s not how those % work though? If you add Matthews and JT ozone starts together it’s 112% obviously you can’t have more ozone starts in a game than 100%

ozone starts are relative to the player themselves ie: Matthews starts 59% ozone and 41% dzone

My coach always said give 110%

 

[saltming]

I wonder if TSN realizes he's a fraud?

If they did he would be working for sportsnet
Hahaha

"Why would he choose Toronto?"

The toronto maple are a huge draw in Russia. We are like the superstar of hockey teams over there. Bot sure why though and forgot where I read that
