We had Kosrhkov at #22 in our 2018 Top 25 Under 25 last spring. Where do you think he sits now before the draft and with more information about other players we’ve learned over this season?

Korshkov was drafted #31st overall by the Leafs and as an overager. He will turn 22 on July 10\. He’s essentially the same age as Kasperi Kapanen; a full year older than both Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews.

### Where does Yegor Korshkov belong in the Top 25 Under 25 ranking of Leafs prospects?

| PPP got it right in the spring; he’s just barely in the Top 25.                | 26 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -- |
| He’s moved up the ranks. He’s a top 15 prospect now.                           | 25 |
| He’s moved up the ranks only a little. He’s in the top 20, but not the top 15. | 38 |
| He’s not a good prospect, period. I wouldn’t rank him Top 25.                  | 19 |
