Toronto Maple Leafs Rumored to be Courting Another Russian Star

Per Igor Eronko, Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas met with forward Mikhail Grigorenko and defenseman Nikita Nesterov of the KHL.

Both could be excellent additions to the team next year, much like Ilya Mikheyev has been so far this year.

in this post, I will be focusing on Mikhail Grigorenko, but I do plan on tackling Nikita Nesterov fairly soon.
