I think I'd wait on kicking him down the depth chart until we see some of these guys actually play. Last year it was Lindholm and Borgman who were going to revolutionize bottom of the roster play and prove Dubas' to be a super-genius. This year it's Mikhayev and Shore.
Every year we get this hype on scrap heap guys and every year they turn out roughly as useless as what we already had.

This final line of the article is more or less what Nik is talking about. I don't think anyone should be predicting that it "should prove" to be a very smart signing. Par Lindholm was 4th in SHL league scoring before coming over to the Leafs.
I hope Mikheyev turns out, but I'm not going to hold out much hope until I see results.

Zaitsev was also that guy coveted by many teams, and the Leaf just paid a ransom to get rid of him at mid-tier RHS NHL d-man money after a few years of pretty meh on-ice performance. Thanks Lou...
Diamond in the rough is a statistically low percentage game. Dubas hasn't showed he's got that game figured out at all yet.

I don't know that they "paid a ransom" to get rid of him. They got back Ceci who apparently they want in the lineup this year and while I guess they might have done better for Brown than a 3rd if they'd traded him separately they wouldn't have done much better for him.

Nick Robertson gets a spotlight today from Wheeler on his standout ability: trying.
Basically Zach Hyman, but smaller, faster, more puck skilled, and can shoot a bit like Matthews-style.

I like the way he plays. With all the signings it will be really difficult for him and others to crack the lineup.herman said:
For Marchment to continue following along the "Trevor Moore development path" he's going to need to take a pretty big step forward offensively in his 3rd/upcoming AHL season. He really didn't stand much of a chance of making the team even prior to the offseason signings.
Moore AHL Year 1: 0.57 PPG
Year 2: 0.48 PPG
Year 3: 0.84 PPG
Marchment Year 1: 0.59 PPG
Year 2: 0.57 PPG
Offence obviously isn't everything for these players but it shows that they've become all-around top players for the Marlies and that's a requirement for a promotion.

Every day, I see more of this kid doing exactly the same thing, robbing guys at the blue line and then shelving it..herman said:

I think you might have misread that section. Sandin (3/7/00) is the next oldest player after Semyon Der-Arguchintsev (9/15/00). Robertson (9/11/01) is nearly a full year younger than Der-Arguchintsev (4 days short).
In ascending order of age:
Nick Robertson
Mike Koster
Mikhail Abramov
Kalle Loponen
Mikko Kokkonen
Semyon Der-Arguchintsev
Rasmus Sandin
Riley Stotts
