Hearing #LeafsForever prospect Nikita Grebyonkin will not extend with Metallurg. #KHL
He intends to sign with Toronto. #NHL
Of course, nothing official yet.
The 21-year old has been incredibly impressive in his first full season at the highest level in the KHL, netting 19 goals and 41 points in 67 games played, showing that he's capable of matching up with people of any age or skill level despite being so young.
Standing at 6-foot-2, weighing 192 pounds, the young Russian has the ability to play on either wing and has been lauded for the ability he has when the stick is on his puck, and given the other talented prospects in Toronto, the future just keeps getting brighter.
