Has anyone gotten eyes on Danford since the season started for him? See he has 2 points in 4 games. Curious what his usage is looking like. Really hoping he has a jump in production this year.
Wasn't Liljegren the consensus #2 before he had mono in is draft year?
Argue that he didn't develop well, but I think most drafts he is a 1st rounder.

I haven't seen him so far but I read he's been pretty good, as expected. Coming from a concussion might be an adjustment so we'll see.

I'll be honest I don't see it, not with Berube running the show. Niemela basically dominated the prospects series after a solid rookie year in the AHL and when preseason started he didn't even get a sniff of a game, even against a rival teams "B" squad.
He'd rather play a slug who can't skate or make a pass or takes stupid penalties than a small skilled guy, at least on defense. Maybe he's got PTSD of his time in St. Louis losing Pietrangelo and him being replaced with Krug (can't blame him there).
Alexander Daigle was first overall and became worthless. Lily won't fetch you a 2nd rounder right now.
Not sure. Looks like Berube likes vets.
What's going on with Oshawa?
Was hoping to see a bit of a break out season for Danford offensively but just from stat watching it looks like Oshawa is having a tough go.
Even Colby Barlow is pointless in 5 games. Sennecke just 2 points in 4 games.

Except Benoit and Timmins are not vets.
Berube has to be better than Keefe, but that doesn't make him right all the time.

If Niemela was popping like a Lane Hutson he’d get a chance. A prospect needs to push for room to be made, as they leap over guys who are further up on the pecking order.
Really intrigued to see if Vic keeps up the point pace.
But in regards to the rest, they’re kind of all hovering around, above (Cowan) or a point below a ppg, is there someone in particular that you wanted to see more from?

He's PPG so far in the AHL this year... small sample size though.

I think since Lily is on our cap might as well play him over Timmins.
Timmins will fall untouched twice every game...watch for it.
I noticed the soon to be Utah YETI are down 2-RHD (Durzi and Marino)
RHD, the rarest of athletes in the NHL
(Do they have a 3rd line centre not named Kerfoot that they would like to trade to us?)
Maybe the injured Nick Bjugstad?

*** Marlies and Prospects thread.
Not the I want everyone traded thread... Note.. he won't be traded.
I mean, it's too early really was just a observation. I'm really not down on any of them haha but usually we have someone come hot out the gates.
Hopefully Danford can get going a bit offensively. Chadwick also off to a slow start to begin the season, hopefully he can get really get going and make a push for the World Junior squad.
Michigan is only 4 games deep but it seems like a big year for Moldenhauer as it's his d+3 year, was hoping he'd get off to a decent start.
Yeah Danford is someone I’m hoping we’ll see a big uptick in points, but not sure that’s really his game.
As long as he develops cause he wasn’t my first choice at all
Danford and Chadwick hopefully getting a0n invite to the WJC

Team Canada D at this years WJC is going to be very tough to make. Dickinson, Yakemchuk, Bonk, Molendyk and Parekh are all easily on the team, so it doesn't leave much room for other pretty good options. Danford could be get in since he's a good skating and defense/PK first oriented defender that could fit the very offense oritented blue line. Chadwick has very little chance of making it.

Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Easton Cowan continues to impress in the OHL, surpassing Sidney Crosby's 37-game point streak with a CHL record in his sights.
