It's a deal with 3 non nhlers, no need to get too mad about the deal. But I agree this deal makes little sense. They got a guy they could have for free, and gave up a 2nd round pick from 5 years ago. I think, as some people already said, maybe they want more contract space (50 player limit, and they leafs were at... 46 I think) or wanted to free up a logjam at left d for the marlies. Also maybe Korshkov wasn't going to play for the leafs? He could be an nhl player I think, but maybe he doesn't want to leave the khl. And finally, maybe they wanted a taxi squad guy. Who knows, maybe Galchenyuk will revive his career in Toronto when/if they play him.
