RW Yegor Korshkov - Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL (2016, 31st, TOR, traded to CAR)

[Duke16]

It's up at the end of the season.

I talked to him and it sounds like he is coming to Toronto.

you talked to Korshkov? hopefully he is prepared to play for the marlies, with a good look in training camp.

20 points in his last 27 games. 6’5 200 Lbs. excited for this guy in North America next year.

Where did you get those numbers from? Not the points total, but the height/weight.

He’s Korshkov’s assistant. He must know these kinds of things.

for real or are you being sarcastic here? I haven't followed along in this thread

edit: NVM just realized posters name is assistant, sorry wasn't paying attention

 

[Son of Petter]

Sorry 6’5” 190 is the last I’ve seen, not 200.

Most sites still have him at 6'4'', so it'd be intersting to see what source you are using.

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

I wonder is Leafs management think this guy could be a replacement for JVR although might not happen for a year or two after JVRs departure.

 

[Son of Petter]

Yeah not sure what I was smoking last night lol. Listed at 6’4” everywhere.

Korshkov's goal from today's game:

Is his bread and butter the front of the net? More physical & not bottom 10 defensive JVR with less skill would be awesome and a unique piece of the small but skilled Leafs

His bread and butter is cruisin along the boards at good speed covering the puck with his frame and getting either in front of the net or behind the net with a lot of possible further options depending on the situation.

Thanks could see that working very well with a Matthews-Marner pair in future

Only he will never be let anywhere near those two.

 

[LeafChief]

@Caser - do you think he will join the Marlies for the playoffs?

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

...?

...?

You seriously think Korshkov if he decided to come to Toronto would ever get to play with those linemates?

I mean Zach Hyman has for 2 full seasons so why not.

I know Babcock has his favourites at times, but I still doubt Korshkov would be one. I really don't see the need in Toronto. Kind of a limbo situation here in my eyes. Just hard to tell if he will go to NA and if he does whether he will succeed or not.

I mean he's very similar to a guy we're losing this summer and brings size we don't have on the wings. Doesn't matter if Babcock loves him or not, he fills a role we have a need for. And from all accounts the scouting staff loved the guy, they considered him a steal at #31 when most rankings had him in the late 2nd/3rd.

Chances are unlikely but I’ll never say never....

 

[Caser]

Kind of doubt it, he didn't sound too confident about his future in a recent interview.

seems like a lot of inference on your part, but you're ignoring that Toronto picked him (too early, by most accounts). If they didn't want him, they wouldn't have taken him

He's got as good of a shot to play with Matthews/Nylander as any other prospect in our system
