Toronto Maple Leafs: Much Ado About Nikita (Soshnikov)

It’s a strange storyline, he spent almost all of last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs and is now suiting up for the Toronto Marlies.

Still trying to solve the equation.

He’s a blue nose, gritty hard-hitting forechecker and he might not be Leafs property for much longer unless something gives.

Now, I’m not the biggest advocate for putting Soshnikov in the lineup, I just don’t think there’s enough room, also, notice how I said advocate, not fan.

I like Sosh, I like what he brings and thinking back to his first NHL goal against the Washington Capitals where he just roofed it short side always brings a smile to my face.
