Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Kirill Semyonov (1 Year / $825,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>I think it was bad luck on his part.

He was getting like 10 minutes a night and no pp time. He didn't wow but I think you need a little luck to have the opportunity to wow with such minimal minutes.</div></div>

And you we're right. Toronto is competing for the cup and SJ is "resetting" (whatever the fudge that means) SJ is trying all kinds of rookies this year so Barbs chances in SJ we're always going to be a bit better being that he's sort of a vet in KHL and for his size is pretty strong compared to the likes of Chmelevski, blichfeld etc. He's also very confident. Lets hope it's not a flash in the pan and he can become a strong middle six nhler for us for a few years. He's no Kaprizov or Panarin but he can be a good player still.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>He destroyed the AHL in a short sample size too.

In the middle of his stint he got a couple games with Nylander and Tavares.

It's quite possible he didn't get a good enough audition in Toronto, but it's sometimes hard to give those auditions when at Toronto's stage of building.

He looked hard working, with good hustle and instincts in all his play in Toronto. But he never concerted it into offense. Could it have been bad puck luck/limited opportunity in Toronto? 100%. I would also in a non human emotions world have rather kept him for playoff depth.

But considering human emotions I'm glad for him the leafs sent him somewhete we can be given a longer shot. Hopefully he turns into something for you guys. Cheers :)</div></div>

He keeps creating. 6 in 6 now. It does help that both Kane and Hertl are really hot right now but he doesn't look out of place at all. It's weird that our biggest bright spots this year are two Russians (Knyzhov and Barabanov) when Russians haven't really worked here since Nabokov.

He said in a pregame interview that TO coaches didn't trust him. I don't see why, he battles, holds onto pucks well, plays both ends and creates. Hope he gets a contract from Wilson.
