Leafs sign Russian free agent Ilya Mikheyev to one-year deal
Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock forecast his team would get bigger. And in the last two deals announced by general manager Kyle Dubas, it has.
The Leafs signed Russian forward Ilya Mikheyev to a one-year entry level deal Monday, days after adding Egor Korshkov to the organization. It remains to be seen if the two can play at the NHL level — Korshkov has joined the Marlies for their AHL playoff run — but, if they can, the six-foot-two Mikheyev and the six-foot-four Korshkov will make the Leafs’ forward units bigger.
