There’s a universe where Leafs fans are very upset that the team drafted Yegor Korshkov at #31 in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Korshkov was considered somewhat off the board. He’s a year older than most of his draft class, and was picked over highly touted prospects like Rasmus Asplund, Adam Mascherin, and perhaps most notably, OHL scoring sensation Alex DeBrincat.
