Toropchenko Extended 1 Y 1 7mil
- Thread starter Linkens Mastery
- Start date
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.
If he was a better player maybe he would be higher in the lineup.
The guy has no hands. We actually did try him out on Kyrou’s line for a couple games earlier this season, and he does not belong there.
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.
Nah its where he belongs, he is a 4th line player and has never really put up points at any level, his goal total last year seems like it was a fluke. Probably will settle in to more than hes produced this year but he will always float around that 5-10 goal range IMO
This team already has enough passengers. Make a statement, no matter where on the food chain you are.
Just came here to say what the f*** was that Toro? Who said you were allowed to go coast to coast like you're Nate MacKinnon?
It reminded me of that scene in Band of Brothers in which Lt. Speirs runs all the way through the town of Foy while the Germans watched in amazement and shock and then he ran back.
The other team didn't know what to do with Toro barrelling down the ice. They're like, No...wait...he's not actually gonna.....shit!
Just goes to show that he actually CAN do sick stuff. So much for those stone hands of his

That was his 3rd goal. He is on pace for a whopping 17.6 points this season. The sun shines on every dog's ass once in a while/
