Lol wow I guess we shouldn't have drafted him where we're you to tell Darcy when it mattered?? Seriously tho the kid has great skill and he seems to have a chip on his shoulder to prove ppl like you, hes not another lazy Russian. Don't worry you'll see wow good he is at least 6 times a season lucky you

You're hoping !

Keep whistling by the graveyard..

I'll bite....what if we go after O'Rielly....would that make a difference in getting Doan to sign? Bobby Ryan? what about Ennis would he be odd man out then? Or McCormick?? Thoughts

Size skill and junior stats are similar, certainly a Malkin like player, not there yet but u never know

most leafs fans are just mad because they wanted grigs, and then got pissed when we took him, then they wanted girgs and we took him too.

should have seen the message boards. it was very entertaining.

Is it offensive to call him The Gringo?


Better?

There's no doubt he has skill he went first round in an NHL draft. We'll see what he can do. Go for him if he can prove me wrong

He's a far east russian, not those Moscow-ian centric Russians, those guys never pan out.

Gringo means foreigner, why would he have a sombrero on if he was a gringo?

I'm sure that's his driving motivation, his inner fire, to prove you wrong. Haha

What are you talking about? We picked at the 5th spot if we wanted him we could of had him. A 5th overall pick has way more upside than a 12th overall pick so what you said doesn't make any sense. 11 other teams obviously didn't want him

the plot thickens
