According to the KHL Media Team, Toronto Maple Leafs forward prospect Yegor Korshkov will stay in Russia another season.
The 31st overall pick in the 2016 NHL entry draft, Korshkov has been much discussed since the moment he was selected by Toronto over more touted prospects. He’s spent the past four seasons with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv of the KHL, reaching career highs in games played (54) and total points (36) this season. This is a respectable showing for a 21-year-old (Korshkov turns 22 on July 10th this summer), but it isn’t the kind of big leap that would solidify his future role with the Leafs.
