Prospect Info: Marlies & Prospect Discussion

I've seen some say a little more mobile Matt Stajan as a comparable for Minten.

If anyone is expecting him to be some big point producer, that's really not what he is.

Good 200ft play who can win faceoffs, can skate and will chip in offensively.

Danford has a goal in 2 straight games. A little positive.

Lackluster point production but still early. Usually those type of guys don't end up making the NHL unless the defence is elite

He's not going to be a big point producer.
Would be happy with a younger Tanev.

30 point a year in the NHL I would be happy
Top 4 dman plays the pk and too defensive dman

 

[horner]

I do not get the Kampf vibes at all.
Remember Minton started 1st line in the WJC for Canada last year.

Minton 188 games and 193 points
Kampf the black hole of offense was 174 games before he made the NHL and 65 points.

He was guaranteed a spot on the WJT hockey Canada sees something special in him.

Well, if it is leadership that would be something the team could use.

As could all teams.

You don't get by without group leadership.

I’m sure you don’t have a set list of threads or posts ready at the drop of a hat but being a fairly observant person I would say I’m fairly certain I saw posts like this.

I've seen more post from people wanting to include him and trades even though he could be that elusive 3C we have been waiting for forever.

His concussion may well have contributed to his slow start. Seems to be rounding into form.

 

[horner]

I'm not really sure how he can be overrated when there is next to no hype around him beyond people thinking he can be a useful NHL player. I don't think I've seen a single comment about high-end potential/upside or projecting a massive amount of points at the pro level.

He's pretty firmly in potential-3C territory with an optimistic upside of 2C who can play both ends of the ice. Considering what we know about his work ethic, PK ability from last year, and the little bit of offensive potential he's shown in junior, this seems pretty reasonable.

Very good on the draw

He won't be traded

Right. Forgot about that. Explains the slow start.

Is Cowan still on his point streak or did that end

Incoming over-rated blue chip status alert!!!!

J/k.

Good for the kid. Shame he got hurt before we could get a look at him.

46 games and going strong.

55 is the OHL record, Doug Gilmour

Longest streak since 2000 is Radulov at 50.

The amount of breakaways he gets is pretty insane.

I'm really hoping this guy is Marner's replacement.

Even better if he could replace Tavares. All I know is that he's the most exciting prospect they've had since MNM were all drafted. If he doesn't turn into an impact NHL player there's gonna be a lot of dissapointment in LeafsLand.

I already got him penciled in on the top line beside Matthews next year.

He won't be a Marner, or Tavares replacement.

Might be a nice second liner though at his peak.

Agreed I think he's more of a 50-70 pt guy than an 80+ pt guy. But if he continues to develop he could exceed that.

 

[The Shadow]

Him going back to Jr was probably the best thing that could have happened. It’s not easy to play in this market.

If he wasn't putting up 0.75 PPG as a rookie, half of the fan base would be calling him a bust.
