The Toronto Maple Leafs have selected Nikita Grebenkin with the 135th overall pick.
Nikita Grebenkin is a 6’2” winger from Russia, and a D+1 overager. He is coming off a season in the MHL where he had 64 points in 58 games, and another 13 points in 9 playoff games. He only played 1 KHL game this season. He played on a hot line for Mettalurg Magnitogorsk, with top prospect Danila Yurov. He’s still a bit lanky at 176 lbs, but gets good reviews for his stickhandling and skating speed.
Here’s Dylan Griffing, Elite Prospects’ scout for players in Russia.
