McMann called
Holmberg sent down

I was disappointed in Holmberg

McMann biger strong and has more skill than Holmberg

 

[Mitch nylander]

A lot of marlies prospects have been pretty great this year and taken big steps forward.

Alex Steeves - 7 goals 13 points in 11 games
Nick Robertson - 3 points in 3 games in the NHL, 11 points in 9 games in the AHL
Nick Abruzzese- After a slow start, has stepped up his game up to 8 points in 11 now.
Ryan Tverberg- After a rather disappointing start to his AHL career last year, he's been great this year. 4 points in 5 games, a dog on the bone type player.
Max Ellis - He's already only 14 points away from his AHL career high. Kid can fly.
Topi Niemela - Continues to impress offensively, 7 points in 10 games, skilled puck mover.
Mini Ovi - Had his first real great game.

Even Holmberg, McMann have done well.

1,000,000 agree
BUT
Does the team extend the olive branch and take Holmberg to Sweden or would he not be eligible for recall?

He's got two years under contract, I think the plan is to groom him into a bottom 6 center. He's waiver eligible, so mindswell let up get some top 6 minutes with the marlies.

I think he's still injured which is a shame, I really wanted to see him.

Akhtyamov made 44 stops on 47 shots in a 3-0 loss.

Doesn't sound like it was his fault lol.

Cowan is the best OHL player.

Our scouts deserve a ton of credit for this selection.

There was tons of rage at the time of the pick but since being drafted he's been unreal.

The scouts did a good job of doing their homework on his late season play and projecting that he had some real untapped offensive potential.

Both the Cowan and Minten pick raised some voices as Wes Clark’s first two drafts .. but how those two have quickly progressed show that the Leafs may have something good running the show to hold onto

Honestly, I'll admit I was one of those - well, not exactly a raised voice, but they seemed like safe at best, low ceiling picks that didn't do much to excite at the time

But I'm always happy to be wrong about things like this!

I'm still a little iffy with Minten considering what was drafted after him but at least he's made big strides in his development and he's legit.

Now Clark has to turn that into finding more NHL level defensive prospects.

 

[SprDaVE]

Ovchinnikov remains hot. 4 goals in 2 games.

marlies win 4-0, hildeby with back to back shut outs, steeves is on a nine-game point streak

Atta boy Hildeby… he’s off to a great start this season

[TheMadHatTrick]

Sorry… I misread the numbers. Marlies had 4 goals against on six shots in the second during the game when I looked. I attributed it to Jones. After being questioned, turns out Jones let in three goals on three shots in the second period.



Looks good, and would be happy with him, but man do we need some D prospects.

Its a very deep draft in D prospects. Not a fan of Greentree's skating.

[BertCorbeau]

That’s great.. turning into a darkhorse legit prospect

 

[Leafs1991]

So many prospects having strong years and even some on the Marlies looking good too. Hopefully they can translate into becoming an impact player and not just a bottom D or bottom 6.
