RW Nikita Korostelev - Metallurg Magnitogorsk, KHL (2015, 185th, TOR unsigned)

[Morgs]

He's not the Leafs property now so some Leafs now will be saying he's a bad player. For the last two years he was considered a major steal .

2015 HFLeafs prospect rank - #25
2016 HFLeafs prospect rank - Didn't make the Top-30.
2017 HFLeafs prospect rank - not listed

Yeah, us Leaf fans were crazy high on him.

It's like that time the Leafs traded for Grabner and Finn was in the deal, and 3/4's of the thread was laughing at the fans saying "LOL Leafs trading away their top prospect" and when we were like "He's not that good" some people called us out....

.. Then someone linked to the offseason prospect pool ranking where we had him ranked like 17th or something of our prospects and everyone was suddenly missing from the thread.

He'd be stupid to do that.

Right.

Instead he should just accept one of the ELC offers he has received.

I like this kid, I hope the Marlies keep him around this season.

Back in the OHL for an overage year.

I'm not sure what else he cam do in the CHL. His skating just hasn't improved, at all. It's going to hold him back. There's no doubt he has NHL skill but if you can't skate, you just can't make it anymore.

it's really too bad this kid hasn't shown anything to give hope that he'll make the NHL, his offense is a treat to watch

 

[izzy]

whats with peterborough having so many players from moscow

 

[WTFMAN99]

He went 8 games without a goal as an overager? Christ.

I still hope the leafs give this guy a shot at the AHL level. He has so much skill just needs to find that consistency.

Agreed. I'd give him at least an AHL deal. Always liked the kid but you're right, he just needs to find that consistency.

Keep confusing this guy with Korosenkov

Another stupid boy chose a worse path.

 

[TMLeafs18]

Has skill and size just needs to put it all together. Wish he signed that tryout with Toronto.

Try-out with CSKA Moscow wasn't successfull and now he is on the CBJ Traverse City tournament roster.

Should have tried out for a weaker team if that option was available.

Where is he going to play this season then?

He will be lucky to make an ECHL team.
