Prospect Info: Marlies/Prospects Thread - 2021/22

[TMLAM34]

46 contracts now.

Back to a more manageable number. Still wish we could have moved a few more but I doubt we will need it now.

Ben Meyers, Nick Abruzzese, Jake Livingstone, and Matthew Knies... And I doubt we even get all of those guys.

Jake Livingstone would be a solid signing.

 

[supermann_98]

No one can be sure. The tournament starts this weekend and depending how the team does it could be as late as April 7, and that is only valid if the team signs him.

Is it just whispers or is it a foregone conclusion Knies is signing an ELC after this season?

Our forward roster is healthy and there's not even room for Robertson or Joey Anderson who've sort of "earned their stripes" on the Marlies and would, theoretically, be ahead of him on the depth chart, not to mention Blackwell who definitely will get a prolonged look

If Knies signs after his rookie season in college I'd be a little surprised, as it would be a good opportunity for him to dominate next year and come in and step right into the Leafs lineup after his sophomore year.

I don't think it is a foregone conclusion. Dubas said that he will meet with him and his parents, but has no problem with him staying in Minnesota

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Jake Livingstone would be a solid signing.

I don't like guys from the CCHA personally. Livingstone is a long shot, and I don't really care if we don't get him, but one of these days a Minnesota State defenseman will work out and Livingstone at least has size/physicality enough to maybe be a depth defenseman if nothing else.

I also considered Spencer Meier out of SCSU as well. Similar player to Livingstone and the same age. He may get an ELC from someone, but I think I would top him out as an AHL contract.

Ben Meyers is the cream of the crop though. He is the Steeves of this year's NCAA crop, and he will have a ton of suitors.

Would like Petruzelli too. Seems like a good kid who just puts up numbers.

Getting Livingstone/Meyers would be a great coup.

NickRob having himself a game.

NickRob having himself a game.

A goal and two assists after two periods. Marlies up 4-1.

 

[AuraSphere]

Does anyone else find it cringe that Joey Anderson hasn't been given a real NHL chance yet? Why are we playing guys like Simmonds over him?

He's averaged about 6 minutes of ice time in the 4 games he's played

 

[Fogelhund]

Marlies up 5-1 now. Ho Sang with the 5th goal, Nick with his 3rd assist of the game, to go with one goal.

Marlies so thug that they had a full period penalty.

Robertson *might* be good... not sure

He's always been good in the AHL. People forget that in a normal non-Covid world this would be his AHL rookie season and we'd all be losing our shit over him. There's 80+ point talent here if he can figure it out in the show.

 

[LeafChief]

I didn't watch a lot (or almost any) of Steeves last year in the NCAA. Obviously he has transitioned really well to the AHL. How does Ben Meyers rank this year vs how Steeves looked last year in NCAA?

 

[LeafChief]

Also if Nashville is buying out Phillipe Myers in the offseason, I would be ALL over that at league minimum.

 

[aingefan]

JHS has tied his pro season high in goals in less than half the games played.
Career goal scoring year.

 

[Burnie97]

f***ing eh

 

[aingefan]

Petruzzelli always smiling.
Big kid, great game today: 32 saves.
Is it just me, or is his top half equipment tiny seeming?

 

[stickty111]

If his play continues for a little bigger stretch this season, I would sign him.

I've never seen him play. What's his style like?

SDA is concussed

Haven’t watched much but he is HUMONGOUS

Me too.

Kind of a strange lease to own situation with Myers. You'd think the Preds would have more time for a 6'5" RHD who was the centerpiece of the Ellis deal less than a year ago...
