Prospect Info: Marlies, Cyclones, and Prospect Discussion

Quillan with the OT winner for the Marlies last night. Our Kampf replacement next year?

Marlies needed a W. Not great in last 10. Hildeby played well it looks like.

Quillan’s production has really picked up in the second half, but has been generating chances all year. Plays with good pace.

Gotta respect and like the year McCue is having.

 

[The Shadow]

Is it possible that the leafs staff viewed Minten as repalceable by a guy like Quillan? Just throwing it out there but they have watched them closely all season

They also were in London for Cowan’s hat trick last week so maybe they liked what they saw and decided to keep him unless the offer was like a Rantannan type

 

[Byron Bitz]

Cowan had a goal and an assist tonight.

Is he still playing center?

 

[Byron Bitz]

It's not great if you look at it like we're a rebuilding team needing high end prospects who can be top 6 players. For what we need some look very promising and could potentially save us a lot of draft picks in the future.

Yeah and I like our chances of landing a couple good prospects with our second and third rounders this year. We have a good scouting staff

I imagine that’s the thinking, or even this class of college UDFA’s.

If they can sign a couple from the top of the class, the current prospect pool is roughly the same as it was.

Not to downplay Minten’s upside, he could end up anywhere from 4c to 2c depending on situations and having a legit line driver. But most project him as an excellent 4c, capable 3C….there’s a couple UDFA kids who project that way.

 

[aingefan]

Could be a big summer for Topi and WillyNeuve. The only real open spot on the D for the next few years is 3RD and they’d be competing with Phillipe Myers - assuming no one else is brought in.

You could see OEL being a great mentor for his partner.

We do!?!

 

[Anthrax442]

No

 

[Byron Bitz]

We do!?!

They have done well with limited picks in recent years and back when they were drafting high they hit on all the top 10 picks.

Is Qullian a full time center?
