Good for him. If he keeps up what he's been doing at camp it won't be long before he gets an NHL deal.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Well deserved. Hopefully he continues to grow his game and is a difference maker on the Marlies. Showed a lot of talent in camp, just needs to round out his game a bit more.

 

[SprDaVE]

He really meant it when he said he'd do anything to stick around.

I think he'll sign a NHL contract as early as this season, but probably for next season.

This is a smart move to make sure he doesn't go on waivers but keep him around.

 

[2 Slick]

Four points in the pre-season, definitely earned a right to get some more playing time eventually.

Fantastic news.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

That is exactly what he has earned to this point. It is up to him to work his way up now.

 

[Menzinger]

The guy is willing to invest in himself long term and sees the Toronto as the place to do it.

Great news

 

[ULF_55]

Good for Josh.

Keep taking it one step at a time.

 

[Magic Man]

He'll be good secondary scoring for the Marlies.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Happy to see him putting in the work. He could end up being a steal if things start to click.

 

[Anthrax442]

Im glad that we keep him for a closer look

 

[TMLAM34]

Great news. Glad he signed a contract.

 

[Crosscrease14]

NHL talent and might be important depth

 

[Leafidelity]

Great news

 

[fahad203]

I am actually very happy with this. It's a good AHL deal.
Let him play 20 games, show me some consistency

Leafs have proven over the years to bring up players and give them opportunties.

 

[TiMo15]

He's earned his contract and continue to put up some work in the Marlies. There's good opportunity that he will go back to NHL very soon.

 

[PromisedLand]

one of mikheyev/kerfoot is gone either this season or end of this season; ho-sang could be the "fit" that can easily walk in to the line up

 

[Twine Tickler]

what's the deal if they want to bring him up this season though? can they mutually terminate the deal and then sign him to a 2-way NHL/AHL?

 

[fahad203]

Yeah. They can convert that into a 2 way NHL deal

 

[TMLAM34]

The only reason it’s an AHL deal is because if he signed an NHL contract he would require waivers to be sent down.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

now let our top of the line sports science dept get a hold of him.

 

[Buds17]

Makes sense with how early news began circulating about his signing a PTO with the Leafs. The forward ranks should thin out a bit over the long haul due to UFA status. Can't entirely rule out opportunity arising prior to that time either.

 

[flying v 604]

Yeah. They can convert that into a 2 way NHL deal

Can any team offer him an NHL deal?

 

[inthe6ix]

Good on ya, JHS!

Now light it up in the A and we'll see ya sooner than later.
