... Korshkov himself?

He said when he signed the 1 year deal, he wanted to spend 1 more year in the KHL to hopefully play a big role before coming over. He said the Leafs management weren't ecstatic with the decision, but understood it and were okay with it.

Yegor Korshkov To Stay In KHL Another Year

 

[Cor]

Pretty sure he has maintained that he isn’t coming to North America until he has accomplished his goal of playing a big role with his Russian club.

It is the same position he had last year as well. No change.

He initially was planning on coming over this year. Lokomotive were going to have him play in their top 6, and they are likely to be a playoff team, so he decided to stay for another year.

Obviously no one knows when he is coming over. He only signed a 1 year deal, so he's obviously taking it year by year, so probably even he doesn't even know.

At the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with having guys stashed in the KHL, SHL, etc, such as Jesper Lindgren, Yegor Koshkov, Vladislav Kara, Eemili Rasanan, Mire Aaltonen, Vladimir Bobylev, etc because we hold their rights indefinitley.

 

[Mr Hockey]

I have a gut feeling Yegor Korshkov will be able to step right into the top 9, possibly even the top 6 when he finally comes across.

Will have to be after Marleau is gone, though.

I'm thinking Marleau has to win his spot at next years camp, it wont be given to him ... imo

Huh? He makes like 6 million a year, has a NMC, is still good for 25+ goals, and brings a veteran presence the organization loves. That doesn't really make any sense.

Only get to keep them indefinitely in the KHL and NLA (and their lower leagues). Although stashing Lindgren is fine because we have him on ELC (so he just burns a year of ELC instead). Plus we would have been able to keep him another year anyways.


Although agree on the rest. No room for them on the Marlies right now anyways.

Ah, you're correct on Lindgren

 

[Cor]

Saying a player will need to fight for a spot a year from now is such an odd thing to try and predict.

Like, what if they get hurt seriously. What if they retire. What if they get traded.

Also, Marleau is a robot im pretty sure. The dude willingly sits in ice baths between periods. He hasn't missed game since 2008.

It was just an idiotic comment.

He scored 27 last year and he's playing with Matthews this year.

What if he scores 35? Are the Leafs going to be looking to buy him out?

What if he regresses and only scores 25?!

My gut feeling is he never eclipses Hymans career.

I expect Johnsson, Levio, Kappy to push for Marleau's spot next season, I also expect Moore, Brooks, Grunstrum, Timashov,Korshkov, Bracco to push for a spot on the team.Its not really odd or hard to think ahead and make predictions lol ... cheers

I expect Korshkov to sign to play in the KHL another year. I also expect 2 of the above to be traded before next year, most likely Moore and Timashov and these slots in the depth chart to be filled by a combination of Engvall, Marchment and/or 1-2 unexpected AHL contracted boomers who earned ELCs by next spring. And if SDA has a boffo year in the OHL, he also may be in the mix for an Ennis type role. Johnsson and Brown will need to watch their backs.

If he scores 35, he will have earned his paycheck and I will definitely had to eat myself some crow. Honestly, that crow would look mighty tasty.

None of us can guess what happens to Marleau in this upcoming season. But he hasn't missed a game in a decade and still has his legs. If there's a 40 year old I'd bet a year in advance on being able to answer the bell for another NHL season, it's Patrick Marleau.

we will see what happens, i could be right or wrong, no biggie. I make lots of posts, etc while just killing time on here. I like Marleau but i'm just observing and posting on how i see the team evolving. I have made posts last season about his health, genetics. and being impressed by him.

 

[stickty111]

Marlies lead 1-0.
Durzi and Neilsen with the assists.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

 

[Boutette]

Matt Bradley scored the second. And then Sandin went and sprained his thumb somehow
