Toropchenko Extended 1 Y 1 7mil

  • 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
Was trying to think of a way to describe Toropchenko and the best I could come up with is that he is a "foxhole" player. He seems like a guy you want to go to war with (for lack of a better term). Always seems to be positive and smiling, I love his attitude and loved the way he called out the team effort last season.

he is the guy you want carrying ammo for the squad from foxhole to foxhole and let the guys with better aim do the shooting
 
Perhaps a slight overpay but honestly, probably not based on how the cap’s rising. And it’s 1 year so virtually no risk.

There’s probably a few thousand more talented hockey players in world but not many of them are 6’6”, 225 lbs and can skate like the wind. He’s a fine 4th liner.

I don’t expect 15 goals out of him again this season (going back to at least age 15, he has zero 20 goal seasons at any level under his belt) but he is off to a bit of a slow start here. We need him to drive the net and create chaos. He’s not a needle mover but he’s a solid 4th liner. Good for him on the extension.
 
Candidate to trade to somebody willing to overpay for his presence on their fourth line. Let somebody else be baited by his size and speed.
 
I would take anyone in the top 9 wing and Walker and Texier over Toropchenko in the top 9. He is completely inept offensively. He had speed and will hit people but you need players who can produce in the top 9.
I didn’t know he stalled that bad.
 
Others gave a damn. He was the only one dumb enough to throw his teammates under the bus in the media while being a low-skill grinder. That should not be rewarded. That is not a positive for the team psyche. The team didn't magically turn it around and praise him. Armstrong and Berube had a talk with him and made excuses for his difficulty with the language.

Maybe he does have a great work ethic, but if it doesn't translate to results, who cares? Fans have zero clue about work ethic and assign it or lack of it to players for arbitrary reasons.
This team already has enough passengers. Make a statement, no matter where on the food chain you are.
 
i'll just leave it here :popcorn:
