At this point the Leafs should try sending one of their players on a fishing expedition to northern Quebec in a single-engine plane.

I saw Korshokov play 3 times with the Marlies in Belleville - he is huge and plays.....small. He reminded me of Ponikarovsky with less skill, he was far from anxious to use his size to his advantage or be physical and was pushed off the puck far too easily fro a guy his size.

My guess is if he ends up in the NHL full time he's a 3rd liner at best and a mediocre one at that.

I'm not arguing that he was good.

But isn't having a "3rd liner at best" better than not having him?

Are they two people?

Gally was a D-man and I think he does the Sens broadcast.

the other plays for the Leafs now and maybe the Marlies

For what it's worth, Capfriendly has him in the minors.

Korshkov is 25

He’s a C prospect

Would not fret over losing him
- Santo_44

the 2016 draft is so annoying...they Leafs could have had 2 of these players

Kyrou
DeBrincat
Girard
Carter Hart
Adam Fox

instead of korkov and woll

It wasn't the best draft.

- Scabeh

Historically...it's one of the worst!

Too soon.

I think part of the reason to move him was that at his age and where is is on the Leaf's depth chart he wasn't going to crack the Leafs line up in the next year or 2 and by then he is what 26/27?

In addition I read that it might have been a way to drop 2 contract spots for 1 which the Leafs may need if they are going to make another /more moves.

Lastly - I also read there is a thought that he may not want to come back to N/America and stay in Russia and maybe the Leafs have a feeling that's quite likely the case?

Maybe getting galchinkuk is insurance...someone who can play in the NHL now (probably) instead of maybe...a few years from now.

Trades/injuries or waiver losses ..need NHL players to bring in

Maybe Dubas realizes he is going to lose Engvall on waivers and that is why he signed LW Galchenyuk?

Still can’t believe we gave up Korshkov
- mr.sir

Why put him on waivers if we’re going to lose him? That line was pretty good for the whole 7 mins Keefe gave them.

Plus it opened up another contract spot I think, traded 2 for 1.

That's still two years of entry level contract before he goes UFA, is it not?
- Atomic Wedgie

Not sure but I think he was put on waivers Sunday ...meaning the claims period ran through Monday. leafs traded for him prior to waiver period closing and therefore get him before some team grabbed him off waivers.

Maybe?

If Leafs wanted him and believed he'd be grabbed before them on waivers then Canes' aren't going to do the Leafs a favour without a payment of some kind. Korshkov is maybe the equivalent of a $2 nominal payment.

Yeah, my wild, no insider knowledge guess is that he told them he doesn't want to come back to North America next year to play for the Marlies, so at that point he's a dead asset to you.

Galchenyuk cleared waivers on Monday, prior to the trade.

“TOR will have to give up Nylander + futures+ a 1st rounder for a top 4 D”

*Leafs acquire Muzzin for futures + a 1st*

“TOR will have to give up Sandin + Nylander to get a top 4 D

*Leafs sign UFA TJ Brodie*

“TOR will have to trade Kerfoot and Robertson for a top 6 forward”
- Fakepartofme

Brodie: 16 gp, 0g, 5pts, 46% CF, -5 CF% REL (despite 57% OzS)

Ceci: 10 gp, 1g, 5pts, 54% CF

right, which I guess makes him more appealing since he can be moved around for 30 days

hmm..playing with Rielly

curious how Ceci looked last season with Rielly

Gally is Gallagher.

I think they waited for him to clear so now leafs can move him between the ahl and nhl without putting him on waivers. Plus he never left Canada so he doesn’t have to quarantine.

alright ...then the waiver clearance must have been of some value to the Leafs or else they would have grabbed him off waivers.

Maybe now they can stash him on the taxi squad without waivers (value)

Or by not using waivers they maintain their slot (not sure how that works).

There's obviously a reason ...we just haven't figured it out yet.
