Prospect Info: Marlies & Prospect Discussion

[horner]

Hildeby is looking very good so far.

He may get a chance to be with the big club next season.

Woll Hildeby 2 goaltenders on ELC's and home grown wow

Definitely the following season

 

[horner]

Minten has a couple of goals so far!

Minten
2 g 3 pts +1 50% FO 2nd star
His team got beat 6-3

Cowen and Minten are non starters in trade talks

Both will probably be with the big club next year

We finally have drafted a C that is really good

Minten is at 1.43 PPG, leading his team, the next closest player is at 0.95.

I know his numbers aren't great, but much like Cowan, he is head and shoulders above his teammates.

I found Stajan to be very vanilla and hope Minten can be more of an impact player.

He was however, over 1000 games for a 2nd. round pick ... not bad.

Yeah, not the top line center some Flames fans thought they were getting, but he was a character player on and off the ice.

 

[ACC1224]

If Minten turns out to be Matt Stajan 2.0 (and hopefully he keeps his hair) then I will be very happy. It does seem like Stajan had the higher offensive ceiling though

Yeah that would be great.
Minten reminds me of Alyn MacCauley or Jay McClement more so than Stajan.

 

[weems]

Minten is also a defensively responsible C that's best offensive strength is his actual shooting ability.

Those players sometimes need to play with people skilled at distributing the puck and finding him in spots where he can just catch and release.

In the pro's he'll be surrounded by more of those types whereas in juniors not too many players have quality playmaking ability.

Hildeby's go-to move seems to be the reverse "snow angel."

 

[67Cup]

As noted above, in the Kamloops loss to Lethbridge, Minten had 2g, 1a. Noah Chadwick had two primary assists for the winners.

Minten is at 1.43 PPG, leading his team, the next closest player is at 0.95.

To get the 2nd star where your team gets blown out is impressive.

He could be better than Woll
And brick Woll is pretty good

Canada's World Junior defense doesn't look that great any chance he gets an invite.

 

[1specter]

Hildeby looking like a Swedish Ben Bishop. Would be unreal if he came anywhere close

 

[ChazzMichaelMichaels]

Anyone who's been watching the Marlies, how's Niemela been?

 

[Fogelhund]

Minten is at 1.43 PPG, leading his team, the next closest player is at 0.95.

I know his numbers aren't great, but much like Cowan, he is head and shoulders above his teammates.

Minten scored three points yesterday, 2 G, 1A.... his numbers were 7 points in 6 games before yesterday. It's kind of one of those small numbers things really. It's great to see him put up a three point game... in a game his team loses 7-3... he was in on every goal. Good signs.

I think we, myself included, are focused on numbers in a small sample size. If he's at 1.43 PPG after 30-40 games... that's a decent sign, particularly on this team, and particularly if he can start scoring 5v5 on a regular basis. Two of his points were on the PP yesterday, historically a place where he scores a lot of his points... and a place he won't get much opportunity at the NHL level. Half of his points this year have been on the PP, and last year, 32 of his 67 points were on the PP..... we need to see 5v5 production on a regular basis.

With the talent around which there isn't much , he is more of a setup guy . With no goalies scorers on his team, he won't have alot 5*5 points. When he gets traded to a top contender those 5*5 points willl pick up.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Canada's World Junior defense doesn't look that great any chance he gets an invite.

I don’t think he’ll make the team but IMO he’s definitely played well enough to get considered.

 

[The Iceman]

Yeah that would be great.
Minten reminds me of Alyn MacCauley or Jay McClement more so than Stajan.

Alyn went from 56G in 50 OHL games to 69G in 488 NHL games....OUCH

And didn't a McCauley hat trick on the last game of the season translate to the Leafs falling drastically in the draft one year?? My memory is a little sketchy on that.

Think that was Boyd Devereaux.

MacCauley and Gary Roberts carried them one playoff year when Sundin was hurt.
Of course that meant to some that the team was better without Sundin and he should be traded.
Yes, I've been here a very long time.

yes, i remember (not on here, but the general sentiment) people saying that even though sundin had recovered from his injury, they should hold him out of the lineup because the team had been so hot without him.

this city hasn't changed lmaoo

Last year he couldn't score more because there was too much talent.

I can't speak to his play in the WHL but this is one of those things that you see people argue the complete opposite position depending on the situation.

Guy can't produce because he's stuck down the depth chart. Guy only produces because he's a secondary player and he gets weak match ups, Guy only produces because he gets big minutes and opportunity on a bad team, Guy can't produce because he's on a bad team and has no help.

Alyn went from 56G in 50 OHL games to 69G in 488 NHL games....OUCH

And didn't a McCauley hat trick on the last game of the season translate to the Leafs falling drastically in the draft one year?? My memory is a little sketchy on that.

Frequent concussions issues for McCauley likely significantly impacted his career.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Yeah that would be great.
Minten reminds me of Alyn MacCauley or Jay McClement more so than Stajan.

Jay McClement would be a good outcome. He was huge for us in 2013 and we prob don’t make the playoffs without him, he led our PK to the top of the rankings and was one of the leagues best shut down centers.

Cowan PP Goal

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Cowan just sniped a one timer top corner from distance on the pp

London has an interesting power play, Cowan and Barkey run the point while Bonk is by the net

 

[darrylsittler27]

He was never a 3rd or 4th liner.


I watched him in the OHL and had said from Day 1 he was going to be an NHL player. One of the few I have said that about and was right about. Hated that trade the day it was made.

Kessel for nothing, Rask for raysoft, Courtnall for Kordic, Kurvers for Niedermayer, Steen for zip, stralman thrown away, have Logan couture it's endless. The Leafs (NHL) insiders were always intentionally throwing away talent. There is a good reason they never win.
