According to Aivis Kalnins, via MyNHLTradeRumors, the Toronto Maple Leafs are one of a few teams interested in Tkachyov, an offensively gifted 21 year old forward.
Hearing that Winnipeg Jets are also interested in Vladimir Tkachyev. Could be an interesting summer for KHL free agents.

Hawks and Leafs also appear to be interested. Sense is that Hawks are looking for a backup option in case Shalunov doesn’t work out.

Tkachyov has 14 goals and 25 assists for 39 points in 45 games with Admiral Vladivostok in the KHL this season.
