The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced today that they have signed Toronto Marlies winger Pavel Gogolev to a three-year entry level contract. The 21-year-old played with the Peterborough Petes of the OHL, alongside Nick Robertson and Semyon Der-Arguchintsev. Now, the three are bona-fide NHL prospects.
Along with now being eligible for our Pension Plan Puppets Top 25 Under 25 prospect ranking that happens this summer, Gogolev is on the path to the NHL. Full disclosure, I love Gogolev. I think he a lot of upside as a scoring winger with size, hands, and vision.
