Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign free agent prospect Jacob Quillan

[Rare Jewel]

Nice to beat Boston on something.


Debut vs. the Habs on Sat?

 

[horner]

Sounds like another Dewar

 

[sxvnert]

Love the new player profile types Tre has been targeting since hes taken over.

 

[TibbySJ]

Considering we have traded our 2nd and 3rd round draft picks in the upcoming draft, would you consider Quillan 3rd round value thus replacing our 3rd round pick?

 

[Kiwi]

Nice

It will be exciting seeing a couple of young centers on the Marlies being developed, Quillan and Minten should be a fun watch

 

[Menzinger]

As a Gopher fan, he's a villain in my eyes lol. But good gamble/signing from the Leafs

I also saw Mayer play the other day and he's pretty solid. Big guy that plays physical but needs to work on his skating. I'd say he's got ELC potential. Could be sneaky and get him on an AHL contract for a year or two.

L'Orignal is about 30 minutes away from me towards Montreal ...

I am glad that they got Quillan as we really need more prospects at center and defence positions. With Caden Webber more or less signed, if we could get Samuel Mayer, than that would top off a dream CHL/NCAA UFA season. With only 3 picks in the 2025 draft, we really need to be aggressive with these types of signings.

I didn't list a D in that pile I posted earlier in the UFA thread, but signing one would be nice.

Jay Quellen?

I’ve seen him play several times across the river at Clarkson and St Lawrence, they are in the same conference, the Bozak comparison seems pretty apt. Graf is more flashy for sure.

so 3rd pick equivalent would be accurate?

I really like Dewar

 

[Marlow88]

here is Pronman's write up on Quilan from a couple of weeks ago.

"He’s a strong skating center with good puck skills who can create offense with pace. His hockey sense is fine, good enough, to go with a strong compete level and ability to play both ways. At 6-0 without dynamic enough puck play, whether there’s enough to his game to be a real player is debatable, but he could be a very useful depth piece for an NHL organization."

Thanks for the link

Have not been following NCAA much

I Don't remember how high profile a signing Trevor Moore was?

is his potential higher than Moore when we signed him?


It was actually Trevor Moore

We brought him from NCAA, developed him in the AHL and he played start of his career here

Had to move him as we needed a goalie back in 2019/2020

Moore is a top 6 player now for the Kings

Wasn’t Bobby McMann a NCAA signing?

I dunno I guess mid round has a chance to play NHL guy,,,that conference is highly structured tightly played. Hard for me to judge. I thought Colin Greening was going to be a star after seeing him a half dozen times with Cornell

 

[Stephen]

Center. Very Bozak like in terms of just being solid all around.

This is a perfect time for another Bozak.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Can’t believe this kid is the one who broke Knies’ heart last year.

 

[francis246]

ATO? Would prefer the contract so the leafs have his rights locked down.

ELC will slide to next year

 

[Buds17]

Explore any and all avenues in an attempt to add to the team. Hoping that's what has been done here.

 

[Raging Bull]

Never heard of him but Bruins fans wanted him so this is great.

 

[Anthrax442]

Can’t believe this kid is the one who broke Knies’ heart last year.

he took out 3 people with that zergling rush

 

[LaPlante94]

Good signing. I was hoping for him and Hughes so hopefully in 2 weeks we can get a deal done with Hughes. Marlies could look good down the middle with Quillan, Hughes and Minten possibly.

 

[Burnie97]

Great to see. Leafs need all the free wallets they can get.

Hopefully they can hit on some late draft picks in this draft too but this is a nice add.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Free wallet!

Nice to add a centre to the pool .. big need even if he just has a ceiling as a depth guy
