Marlies, Cyclones, and Prospect Discussion

I think the big fish FA from the finals was Quinn Hutson, RW. Nothing linking him to signing with the Leafs, though he was at development camp with them this year. I think Frieds said he had interest from western teams.
I think he’d be a great add, but no noise.
Maybe no news is good gnus.

Quinn Hutson signed with Edmonton a few days ago apparently.

Couldn't sign a few days ago but ...
I see where he is linked to him except he played last night so it should be reported today or tomorrow?
EDIT:
RW ... Wonder if this impacted his decision? marner and Nylander
If he was a center Matthews, Ancient Tavares, and ummm ...

Marlies playing the home second of a back to back with CLE.
Denis Hildeby gets the start again, maybe the guy down the stretch.
Reaves, Haymes and Miller in.
Edit to add: Ryan Kirwan makes his pro debut as well.

Marlies did not control play, but uo 2-1 after one.
PP goal by Logan Shaw and last minute tally for Jake Quillan from Steeves (after a missed breakaway) and WillyNeuve.
Not a strong first. Plenty of nice stops from the beast. Some nice jump from Haymes and Quillan that period.

Anyone think Villeneuve should get a look for the third pairing at camp? He's been low-key good for the Marlies.
I think you could see a situation where the volume of depth options compete for that 3RD spot in a cost effective way.
There’s Benoit for now, and Myers is pretty effective when he plays quiet. But WillyNeuve has developed and moves the puck well, and Niemela could be in the same mix of he takes the training challenge the org is pushing on him. In theory, OEL should make a smart insulating bet to incorporate one of those guys.
I think all of Niemela/WillyNeuve and Rifai have shown enough to be viable for the 6-8 slots.
That being said, it’s kinda win-now, and both the last two FO’s have shown a preference for finding low-cost guys with NHL experience over using the bottom of the roster for player development.

Which is a shame really because sometimes the players we've gotten to fill out the bottom of the roster probably do no better than a promotion from the Marlies would.
Yeah, I don’t disagree.
The win-now approach is understandable but there’ve been some times where guys either didn’t get a fair crack or developed and didn’t get a chance.
Like Barabanov during Covid, Steeves anytime the past year plus, and some of the D.
Playoff feel to Marlies game, CLE prolly the better team overall but Marlies battling and more opportunistic.
Gave up the game tying goal, then fought back to rake the lead Pare from NickA and WillyNeuve.
Both Haymes and Quillan have looked good, both taking the puck hard to the net drawing penalties.
And two games on a row that Jake got himself in a tussle. Willing combatant….might need some lessons from Reavo to get better at it. Good intensity tho. Been noticeable.

Marlies ended up losing in barn burner.
Tons of back and forth. Came back to tie late, took it to overtime - where Logan Shaw got stopped on a breakaway - and ultimately lost in shootouts.
Fun game for the crowd, not a 60 minute effort….CLE wanted it more.

He should get a look for sure.
Quillan also started really slow in the AHL but I think he's a guy that is going to push for that 4C job.
I'm starting to wonder if Quillan has a bit more ceiling than 4C, he's started scoring at a pretty good clip and he's showing some willingness to get engaged in the physical stuff

His motor is awesome from what I have seen.
Tree has added guys that aren't goons but at the same time, elevating the overall team toughness, you need bite.
I wouldn't force him onto the team next season, half a season being 1C, playing in all situations and hopefully scoring wouldn't hurt his development
Filling that 3C hole cost effectively would really help
After the King/Hutson/Washe signings were made official today, I sort of doubt there will be any other UDFA ELC signings out of the NCAA this year - I think anyone else worthy of one is probably returning to school at this point. There are worthy AHL deals though.
My main targets would be a few senior/5th year F's who were near PPG and recognized as top defensive F's in their conferences. They could all be immediate rotation options for the Marlies
Jack Ricketts (Quinnipiac)
Ryan Richardson (Clarkson)
Hudson Schandor (UConn)
I like Cameron Rowe (WMU) as a goalie addition too, as well as Lukas Sillinger (ASU) as a scorer for the Cyclones.
CHL:
Considering the Leafs gave Blake Smith an ELC 6 weeks after eligibility opened, I think Sam Alfano and Brayden Edwards are two CHL forwards who could be worth one when they're done - an AHL deal instead would be great too. I still like Landen Hookey and Spencer Sova as 2-year AHL contract signings as well.
Euro:
Vasili Atanasov. After missing out on some of the solid NCAA wingers, and just considering the lack of perceived upside in the system, I'd love this bet.
Marlies:
Atanasov - Shaw - Cowan
Hirvonen - Quillan - Abruzzese (or someone alike)
Kirwan - Haymes - Tverberg
Mastrosimone - Kressler - Valis
Ex. Barbolini, Reaves, Ricketts, Richardson etc.
Rifai - Villeneuve
Chadwick - Benning
Webber - Sharpe
Prokop - Vet
Hildeby
Akhtyamov.
I'd then likely have Alfano, Edwards, Hookey, Sillinger, Schandor, Voit, Smith, Parsons, Sova, and Rowe as the NHL/AHL signed players with Cincinnati. They'd probably don't get all of those guys anyways since they'd make up a high percentage of ideal targets remaining, so that ECHL list is likely smaller.

He’s a pretty smart kid.
Plays with lots of pace, makes smart decisions.
3C isn’t out of the question.
His profile could even play higher up on the wing I think the more he adjusts to the pro game.

Maple Leafs Prospect Roundup: Cowan coming through in the playoffs, Leafs sign Smith
Welcome back to another edition of the Maple Leafs Prospect Roundup he...
theleafsnation.com
A good article on what our prospects are doing in the playoffs, and on the Marlies.
Cowan has 16 points in 6 games in the playoffs so far... Nice performance when it counts.

Nice post, and some good targets there. If they sign half of those guys, it will be a job well done for us.
