Prospect Info: Marlies & Prospect Discussion

[Mitch nylander]

Mini Ovi up to 5 points in 6 games.

Abruzzese has been hot recently, 3 assists last night.

Abruzzese has been hot recently, 3 assists last night.

Mini Ovi was off the radar the last year or two. His game seemed to regress in Russia. Would be terrific if he could turn into a viable forward prospect, given his wheels - we need more speed at forward. He also looks a bit bigger to me than I remember from a couple years ago.

If only the stock market went up as reliably and spectacularly as Easton Cowan's stats line.

Hildeby seems to be settling quite nicely in the AHL.

Hildeby and Arty actually make it seem like we could produce a starting goaltender.

Some interesting forwards in the pipeline...

Now we just need to develop a top pairing defenseman

 

[Canada4Gold]

Ovchinnikov getting a chance and rolling with it is nice to see. As is Hildeby good play so far this year

 

[horner]

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

Hopefully they can spot dmen

Not gonna lie, I had kinda mentally written Ovchinnikov off

Woll's got a decent shot at that to

He's having some growing pains but you can see the talent and demeanor the kid possess

Steeves is also on fire. 9 or 10 game point streak?

He's been great. I don't think he'll finish the season with the Marlies at this rate.

I hope he finally gets an extended look at some point. Feel like he gets spot duty playing 7-8 minutes on the fourth line for a couple of games and then gets scratched or sent back down.

He's probably next in line for a call-up. I think he might need a fresh start on a new NHL team to get a bigger chance though, similar to Joey Anderson. I suspect he'll be packaged at some point this season for an upgrade ... but who knows.

Yeah, he's been marinating in the AHL for a few years and I think it's now or never for him.

Where would that be though?

He has a brother playing for Notre Dame. 21 years old. Scored 21 goals as a freshman last year and has 7 in the first 11 games this year. This followed 39 goals and 67 points in 60 USHL games the year prior. Another free wallet for the Marlies maybe? Only issue is 5’8”.

 

[LaPlante94]

I don't get to watch many Marlies games anymore but when I do they have looked much better since firing that last coach. Had a few late game breakdowns but they were always doubling up opponents in shots pretty much which was insane and the complete opposite when Moore was coach. I think that was his name.

 

[SprDaVE]

He has an incredible one timer shot. Pretty impressive rookie season so far for him.

He has good size/frame, doesn't seem like he's got crap tools. If he's smart and works on faceoffs and defensive play, he could carve out a bottom 6 role.

 

[Fogelhund]

even if we dont sign any, i dont want to sign a 35 yr old JT for what hes going to want. its a young mans league and much faster than it used to be, JT has been getting caved 5v5 for a few years now and i think its only going to get worse. i like him but 7 years was good for me

and what is it he wants?

 

[Fogelhund]

Bellows has been very solid for the Marlies so far. Biggest concern is his skating speed, but he should have at least earned a Marlies contract from his PTO.

Maxime Comtois. 1g 4a with the Chicago Wolves, in 5 games. He's someone I'd offer a league minimum to right now.

[LeafSteel]

I’m all aboard the Comtois train.

It makes so much sense it’s not even funny.

Absolutely no downside to it for us.

Epic first sentence

a 4th line of Steeves - Holmberg - McMann (injuries aside) to start the year, and we'd probably be in a better place and have a couple extra million of cap from Kampf and Reaves to help upgrade the D.

[Leaf Rocket]

There has to be some things cooking because there are a lot of options I am seeing at least for us in the future.

I miss going to marlies games.
