The Toronto Maple Leafs have Johnsson, Hyman, Petan, and Mikheyev penciled in as their left wingers for next season.
There are players in the pipeline, such as Mason Marchment, and Pierre Engvall who showed potential while playing for the Marlies in the 2018-2019 season, but it’s clear the Leafs could use an upgrade at the position.
Enter Valeri Nichushkin, a former high pick with high-end talent who has recently been bought out, and as such will be available quite cheaply to anyone willing to take a chance on him.
