I'm hoping Toronto drafts some forwards who can jump right into the AHL next year. With Moore, Bracco and Gauthier replacement coming up next year I think the Marlies are going to be very weak upfront
Even with Liljegren getting promoted the Marlies backend is going to be fun to watch and I'm excited to see how well Sandin does (without Bracco to pass to I think Sandin won't get as many points but I hope he proves me wrong)
Either Sparks or Kask are going to get traded and the other will be Toronto's backup. Really really looking forward to the goalie battle between Scott's and Woll for who will be #1
I know the Marlies season isn't over but I can't help but think about next season
The Leafs org. already added 2 forwards AHL eligible and will be adding a bunch of other potential depth (McGregor and Joshua?). It's very possible Korshkov and Mikheyev start with the Marlies. Bracco is probably also starting with the Marlies, but that depends entirely on roster changes upfront.
The Marlies defense will have Hollowel, Duszak, Lindgren and Kivihalme next season, as well as potentially Gordeev. Rasanen should be back in the KHL for his final year of his contract though.
Plenty of depth coming in despite some graduations. I think the biggest losses for the Marlies will be guys like Greening, Mueller, LoVerde, etc potentially leaving. The Marlies will need to replace them, because every top AHL team has top end AHL veterans.
