Icon45 Former Toronto Maple Leaf and Ranger Nikolai Antropov eyeing NHL return?

I was surprised there wasn't any news posted about this yet, so I thought I could do it; http://thehockeywriters.com/nik-antr...return-to-nhl/

At 35 years old a big boy like that can't make a come back in my opinion.

It's a young man's game more than ever, and speedier than ever.

The crumble of the Ruble is really starting to hit.

Not comparing him, just saying it isn't out of the realm of possibility to come back to the NHL. Besides if you don't hype Antropov then the leafs won't sign him.

Oh, and Taylor Hall is just chopped liver now? He may be the greatest winger to never hit 30 goals.

Seriously though folks.

There are a lot of guys in the KHL who could come to the NHL and turn some heads.

Antropov is not one of them.

I remember when he was drafted to be Sundin's replacement. Then he became the poster boy for all the sucky Leaf years during the 2000s.

He's had a pretty decent career though.

He only wanted to list top 5, not 99 of them.
