I think Peksa started so unbelievably poorly for the Growlers that the fact he got his save percentage up to .890 at the end indicate he finished quite strongly.

This is a pretty huge step in development for Chadwick

The only prospect not picked in the top 60. Pretty good value for a 6th rounder to be invited to that team.

this junior team for Canada is looking absolutely stacked at all skater positions. A fair amount of returning players and Canada dominated the 1st round of the draft this year. Would be stunned if Chadwick made the team but just being invited to camp is a huge boost, to know he's on Canada's radar. Getting a legit prospect from the 6th round is already a win.
Jay O’Brien on the Charlotte Checkers now? So injured all season, doesn’t play a minute then is now on another team. I was looking forward to seeing him play on the Marlies last year. Strange situation that he kind of just disappeared after his injury.

Johnny Tychonick is another odd one, imo.
Wasn't injured, but was ineligible to sign an NHL deal because Ottawa had his rights, but he toiled all season with Newfoundland and then the Marlies, and had a pretty strong showing.
Now he's suddenly removed from Ottawa's Reserve List, free to sign anywhere he wants in North America, and now takes the opportunity to go to Europe.
I'm sure it's a matter of Toronto wasn't willing to give him anything more than a minor league contract and the SHL was just a better deal/opportunity, but turned pro and developed by the Toronto organization when they've couldn't have signed him even if they wanted to, only to be turned loose when they could.
Hey mods: would it be possible or worthwhile to have a dedicated thread stickied for tracking undrafted free agents? I always enjoy hearing about potential signees out of Europe and college, but the information is always scattered all over.
Not sure there’d be enough interest, but it’s pertinent to the Leafs backfilling the prospect ranks, and interesting stuff. Thx.

@SprDaVE I don't know if you saw that yet but that's great.
Now we can really judge him on the north American ice. Sounds like he's coming over.
I like this pick. I hope he can figure it out here.
What are the marlies lines looking like right now? I’ve got:
Steeves - Minten - Grebyonkin
Abruzzese - Quillan - Tverberg
Hirvonen - Pare - Voit
Clifford - Kressler - X
Webber - Niemala
Mermis - Myers
Kokkonen - Villeneuve
Chadwick/Mattinen/Rifai
Murray/Hidelby/Akhtiamov
Steeves - Minten - Grebyonkin

You're missing Logan Shaw up front and Clifford is a UFA yet to re-sign
Additional Marlies contracts (most will be down with Cincy, but some other options)
F: Matthew Barbolini, Jacob Frasca, Mathieu Gosselin, Marko Sikic
D: Matt Anderson, Jacob Bengtsson, Chas Sharpe

I'd bet that Lisowsky will be signed to AHL deal as well, considering he's at dev camp right now... seems like there's still a decent relationship there. We'll see. But overall they are likely going to add a few more bodies in there.

It's been less than a week since Ben Danford was drafted by the Maple Leafs in the 1st round of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and he's already on the ice at Ford Performance Centre in Toronto.
Danford is taking part in his first ever Maple Leafs Development Camp with a slew of other exciting young prospects, including 2023 1st round pick Easton Cowan and 2022 2nd round pick Fraser Minten.
The 31st overall pick in this year's draft, Danford is looking to put his best foot forward in his first taste of on-ice action with his favourite NHL team.
Clark confirmed that when the Leafs saw an opportunity to trade down and still land the Madoc, Ontario native in the 1st round and pick up and additional draft pick, they were elated. Clark also revealed that even though many scouts had Danford slated to go in the 2nd round, the Leafs were not about to trade down a second time and chance missing him. He was their guy from day one.
Danford, a 6'2, near 200-pound right-shot defenseman, is downright "mean", as Daily Faceoff's Hunter Crowther refereed to him after the draft. Sounds like the Leafs have a future star defenseman on their hands.

How did we manage to not keep Kieffer Bellows after spending a year on that reclamation?

I think Hayley said Minten is going to the Marlies without saying he's going to the Marlies..
Want to make him more dynamic sounds like a ticket to development.

Based on his underwhelming offensive production last year, he needs it.

Holmberg has never started the season as a Leaf.
Is he still waivers eligible?
If yes, and if TREE signs a PTO that makes the team he could again be vulnerable.
Also I do not see many scenarios where Timmins makes the Leafs out of camp.
If there is an injury or trade only.
He is firmly #8 and although I am not sure if he clears waivers with Dubas out there,
I don't think he will be a Leaf.
Hopefully a Marlie.

If we wanted to keep him, we would have kept him. They didn't see enough to warrant extending him. He's a nice AHL piece, but not a NHL piece, so better to move on. That's how projects work...or don't. Same with Ho Sang.... didn't see enough, good luck somewhere else. Bellows improved some, but really doesn't have NHL level skating. Long stretches of nothing too... I think two stretches of six games with no points.

Yeah, doesn't sound like they want him to be a defensive center.
Not sure he has it in him to go all offense though.
By the way, he'll turn 20 tomorrow.
