Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Kirill Semyonov to a one year (2021/22) entry level contract

[Obo]

It's pretty transparent why the Leafs signed him...

Where's the "thumbs-down and perma-ban" button?

KD shouldn't get the credit for these KHL guys.

This is all Jim Paliafito who is our Russian whisperer.

Hopefully Paliafito finds an impact player one of these years. I know the Leafs were one of the teams in on Panarin way back when he picked Chicago, but his free wallets haven't typically had much in them except a library card here and there.

Pick retrieval bait in mind as a plan B I'm guessing.

Just keep the oil flowing through the oil pipeline. It lubricates the talent pool.

Whaaaaatttttttt?
Somethings are best to be kept on a very hush hush private , not that there’s anything wrong with that basis ......

Not entirely fair. Micheyev has been quite useful - the wrist injury seems to have had some negative impact on his game - and Zaitsev is an NHL quality 3rd pair RHD who's tenure here ended due to the crazy contract he was granted.

I don't care what anyone says, the Leafs' hit rate on these European free agent signings is probably above average.

They’ve found serviceable players for sure but it’s time for a homer.

It’s been nothing but wild curveballs since we’ve been competitive. There needs to be a Panarin coming over, which has only happened like once in recent history.

Good points
