Leafs' Underrated Prospect Shines in the KHL
Grebyonkin was drafted by Toronto in 2022, in the fifth round, and was named the KHL's 2023 Rookie of the Year.
He is a 20-year-old, 6'01", 191 lbs Russian winger. He played the last three years in the KHL, playing for the Magnitogorsk Metallurg and the Khabarovsk Amur. In 74 games, he scored 38 points, including 16 goals.
With the current congestion at Toronto's right wing position, Grebyonkin is better off in the KHL, where he can get a lot of ice time.
He is currently playing through the last season of his KHL contract and should come to North America next summer.
Do you think Grebyonkin will play with the Leafs next season?
