The Leafs reportedly have interest in Spartak Moskva forward Maxim Tsyplakov.
Maxim Tsyplakov will now add a dynamic forward who scored 31 KHL goals this season to the New York Islanders lineup. A team that plays defensively sound like the Islanders adding a scoring threat of this caliber could mean trouble for many other teams in the Eastern Conference.
