  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Leafs had a 1st on the table when Fletcher signed him.

For what it's worth, here is The Hockey Writers' report on Grebyonkin:

One of the more underrated names in the Maple Leafs system before no longer has that label, as Nikita Grebyonkin has quickly garnered a lot of attention this past season. After being named KHL rookie of the year in 2022-23, Grebyonkin followed that up with 41 points in 67 games with Metallurg Magnitogorsk and added another six points in 22 playoff games, winning the Gagarin Cup.

His willingness to use his size, speed and hands to his advantage are strengths to his game. He’s constantly establishing himself with his power-forward game and possesses great hands in tight spaces to manipulate situations. He’s extremely skilled and very competitive, becoming a work horse and factor along the boards and in front of the net. He can outmuscle opponents easily and can make plays at a quick pace. As a result of last season, he has shed his label of being an underrated prospect in the system.
 
From all I've read around here, next year's draft blows anyway so that's not a problem for me. It's all about how the new kid does.
 
It is for basically a 4
For all the hype on a bidding war, we had to:

Get a pick TWO years away
Top 10 protected
Give up a 4th
Give up a 6th
Retain half the salary

Bad trade.
It is for basically a 4th line center. A very good one but still. And retention this year doesn’t matter. It’s 1.5 next year. Then all the retention is gone…Hayes, Laughton and Cam… About 7 million. Next year. I think.
