No sir. I don't like it.
Arn said:
I doubt it. I remember when he hit waivers it was reported he was told to stay in Canada. Feels unlikely they would have put him on a plane right when he cleared.
I really don't get this. It seemed like Korkshov was finally on the cusp of being something other than a giant waste of a pick. Wonder if he said he wasn't super interested in coming back to NA.

I imagine they think if he is with good players he will excel. 7th organization he has been with.

The flexibility of being able to send him to the taxi squad was likely a bonus. If the Leafs claimed him off waivers they would have needed to put him back on and another team might have picked him up.

So, basically, this is Korshkov for Gally? If Korshkov doesn?t come back to North America, then it?s not an awful move. Not a good move, but not awful - if it?s known he?s unlikely to cross the pond in the near future, his trade value is basically zero. Freeing up a reserve list spot is nice, too. No expectations for Galchenyuk. He?s a depth add, and not much more.
Don?t love the move, but don?t hate it. It?s a largely nothing trade.

I would have preferred to give them Barabanov if that was an option.

Ok that's enough Alexs on the team.

With the success Korshkov is having in the KHL this season, it wouldn?t surprise me if he stays there. He?ll almost certainly be offered more money there than he?d get in the NHL.
