The Toronto Maple Leafs prospect pool is alive and well heading into the new season. One of the most underrated Maple Leafs prospects was able to get a hat trick earlier today.
Maple Leafs Prospects Scores A Hat Trick
Today in a game with his club team in Russia Maple Leafs' prospect Nikita Grebyonkin scored a hat trick. This was his first hat trick in the KHL in his career.
Nikita Grebyonkin hat trick alert
The Maple Leafs prospect scored 3 goals in a 6-3 win against Salavat Yulaev Ufa today, the first hat trick of his KHL career.
Totals (KHL): 15 GP, 6 G, 9 PTS, 12:34 ATOI, +6
Grebyonkin has been off to a very hot start in the KHL with 9 points in 15 games. The 20-year-old prospect has been skyrocketing up the prospect world in the last year or so.
Grebyonkin Makes His Case For Being Maple Leafs Top Prospect
In a prospect pool full of talent like Matthew Knies and Easton Cowan as well as Nick Robertson Nikita Grebyonkin is starting to make a name for himself.
The 5th-round pick was at one time considered a long shot to be an NHL player. Now he is generating a ton of hype for his potential signing in North America.
Last season was the beginning of the rise of Grebyonkin when he was able to score 26 points in 45 KHL games. This is an impressive feat for an at the time 19-year-old.
Now Grebyonkin is on pace for 40 points by the end of the KHL season. If this production continues the Maple Leafs will likely look to bring him to North America sooner rather than later.
