Lol I love comments to the news on X. It's either Toronto fans love to joke a lot or they are jokes.

Kid is an absolute steal. 21 year old with 41 / 67 points in the KHL. That's a 40 point pace in the NHL according to NHLe.

Might take a few years to learn the North American game but he's 6 foot 2 and 192 pounds and already looking like a complete stud.

Next Kucherov?

Michkov had the same points in 20 fewer games and being 2 years younger, that's the next Kucherov...

I will be happy with a middle 6 winger

He fights like crazy too. A third line quasi power forward with 20/20 I would be thrilled.

If Cowan/knies. Are top 6
Grebs/robbie/Minten are legit 3rd liners and dewar/quillan/holmberg are 4th liners that’s not bad.

Has a real shot of making the team out of camp. 21 years old but looks like a beast out there.

did he have any points n the preseason games? being a funny guy won't count for much, i guess

He is a fighter now. Reaves replacement in the wings.

He scored at one of the highest rates all time for rookies in the K. Rookie of the year as well. Stupid post. Nice try though.

 

[Legion34]

Made boneheaded defensive plays.

But exciting and physical and fights. Maybe a player but not opening night

Well, 0 points and a ticket straight to the ahl speak for themselves. But hey, I heard he is quite a character, coach likes him.

0 points in how many games? Well, this pre-season points thing sure mean a lot, we all know that from previous years.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Do you have a point to prove or something? lmao the coach is a fan of him. The absolute horror amirite?

Man might as well retire at this point.

Which is why Russian posters would like him to challenge for a roster spot at age 21, not just be "liked by the coach".

Nobody is dissing your prospect just to be a dick, some people who were invested in him simply expected more which isn't that hard to understand given his background. As things stand now, he is a 2nd tier call up.

What a smart take. Good thing you work in hockey.

The Leafs winger group is very crowded. There’s still a chance Nick Robertson gets traded and he scored goals at the second higher rate per minute on the team last year after Matthews while being cheap on the cap. Or a solid vet like Jarnkrok is moved because we have too many options. Grebenkin needs to acclimate to the NA game and polish his overall game before winning a spot, but I imagine he’ll be one the first callups when injuries inevitably hit.
