Mr. Paycheque is back, and this time Leafs rookie Nikita Grebenkin was caught in a street interview where he once again had a very memorable moment.

Since coming into the lineup for several injuries and a suspension, Toronto Maple Leafs rookie forward Nikita Grebenkin is quickly becoming noticed.

Fans have definitely taken to him as more than just his play on the ice but to his quirky, lovable personality. He came out with a great one-liner from one of his first interviews as a Leaf, and it is already a quote for the ages.

During the weekend, Grebenkin didn't let up in the limelight as, with humor and charm, he gave a street interview to his fans.

While the player has joked about his paycheck, his real admiration for the city and its supporters boosted his popularity even higher.

The rookie has been quite vocal in his interviews about the welcome he's been receiving from Leafs Nation, and it means a lot to this team's die-hard fans.

Asked about his game, only his second in the NHL, Grebenkin didn't miss his chance to drop his now-signature catchphrase for a delighted crowd.

"A win today it's paycheck," said Grebenkin getting a big reaction from the interviewers.


Before wrapping up the interview, he had one heartfelt comment that really sealed the deal with the fanbase and cemented his status as a fast-rising fan favorite.

With veteran Ryan Reaves close to returning from suspension and the injury situation starting to clear up, the question remains to be seen just how much Grebenkin factors into the lineup moving forward. But for now, he's making every second count, both on the ice and in the hearts of Leafs fans.
