Prospect Info: Marlies, Cyclones, and Prospect Discussion

How has Grebenkin looked ever since being sent back down? I haven’t heard much about him at all…

The new haircut looks good.

You can see the talent when he’s active, he’s making an effort to get to the slot to make plays, which is good.

He’s moved around lines too, so hasn’t had real long stretches to develop chemistry with anyone.

The two way energy seems to come and go.

Can anyone who watches the Marlies/Cyclones tells us more about Chas Sharpe. Does he have the potential to jump to the Marlies? Guy has a cannon of a shot. Is a 6’3 RHD. How is he defensively?

For anyone with FloSports, the Cyclones play today at 1:30.
I’ll try and watch.
I think the biggest barrier right now is opportunity in the A.
The team has Niemela, Villeneuve still, both viable offensive RHD prospects. Benning is kicking around. Tommy Miller is a good A player. Nick Mattinen is in the rotation. So, already 4 guys with NHL deals in the rotation.
Great bet for 25-26 for sure when Mattinen peels away and with something likely to give with Topi.

Definitely see Quillan being an effective fourth liner on the leafs in a couple of seasons

I think that floor is pretty likely, but he’s got some skill.
I’m not projecting this ceiling, but Zach Hyman could be a nice comp for him or goal at least. He’s got good wheels, a good motor, good hands, goes to dirty areas with speed. A lot of the skills that could make him a good complementary player up the lineup.
That should be the development goal with guys in the A. Not so much be first or second line drivers, but complements to those skill sets.
