Is there any sense of Anthony Stolarz’s proximity to a return?

Berube: He is on the ice moving around. Next week, he might get more active in the net and start moving and going up and down. We have to take it day-to-day. It is all about how he feels and where he is at with his movement.

He is on track, so he is doing well.

----------------------

My guess is he returns Feb 4th or 6th. That's 3-4 games from now. We'll be fine.

Noting, we could call up Murray, and as long as he doesn't dress for 10 games, or longer than 30 days, he won't require waivers... forgot about that rule.

And keeping in mind that 10 game/30 day rule is cumulatively, not consecutively, so the 5 days and 4 games he's already been up for since clearing waivers would eat into that

But as long as Stolarz is back early February, we should be fine keeping him up without needing waivers again (he just then wouldn't be able to be yo-yoed for the rest of the season, either)

So with Benoit, Timmins, Rielly and Myers basically doing very badly...maybe we need to check internally before we go externally?

We've put in a lot of development time with Kokkonen and Niemela...and Benning is there. We should try to internal first before we spend assets for fix this.

I wonder if Benning is a end of season add/black aces?
If he gets called up early is he exposed to waivers?

I believe we can recall him for a certain amount of games/days on our roster before waiver requirements would kick back in.

I wouldn't sweat this either way, if he comes up and is good, fantastic, problem solved. If he requires waivers again and we put him on waivers, it is because he did not meet expectations so the 100k or whatever that would count on our cap when he's in the minors disappears off the books and we gain a contract spot.

He cleared when we last sent him down, so next time he is up we have 10 games or 30 days on roster (whichever comes first) before he needs waivers again.

To simply call him up though, we're in the clear, as there are no more re-entry waivers

Good lord, Super Mario.

The Athletic (Scott Wheeler) ranks the Leafs prospect pool 28th in his latest rankings.

1. Cowan (projects as a top 9 forward)
2. Minten (projects as a 4th line C)
3. Danford (projects as a 3rd pair dman)
4. Akhtyamov (solid NHL goalie)
5. Hildeby (possible #2 or good organizational depth goalie)
6. Grebenkin (bottom 6 winger)
7. Niemela (5-8 D somewhere else)
8. Chadwick (7-8 D with possible upside)
9. Holinka (might play some NHL games)
10. Villeneuve (possible call up option one day)
11. Tverberg
12. Quillan
13. Johansson
14. Moldenhauer
15. Miller

Interesting that his projection of Minten is lower than Minten's actual NHL usage.

Interesting that his projection of Minten is lower than Minten's actual NHL usage.

I think his NHL usage is mostly due to the lack of centre depth we have. Not saying he won’t ever get there (3rd line centre) but he’s definitely more of a 4th liner atm.

Wheeler has been very sketchy at best on his overall analysis of prospects and overall knowledge
Lots of these talking heads dont have great sources
He seems to be wishy washy and takes the safest route on his work

I remember his initial write up on Ilya Mikhayev when we got him and they said he had choppy skating with average speed.

The guy was going straight line with McDavid.
