Prospect Info: Marlies/Prospects Thread - It's finally puckdrop, baby!

Another assist for Hirvonen today

thats 4pts in his last 3 games. Kid is heating up

What is awesome when you look at the Marlies lineup, are guys like Elynuik, Chartier, Brazeau, Conrad, Gogolev, who are all young guys, each have some potential, even limited, that we only have on AHL deals.

is Giorgio Estephan still under Marlies control? I know he's playing with Kansas City of the ECHL, but not sure if that's just because the Growlers aren't operating

I’m curious to follow Chartier of that group in particular.
Coming off pretty significant injury iirc, but seeems to have some tools.
Also, loving the Lili support.

You can see why Leafs had Lilly, Sandin and Robertson as untouchables.
Bob doesn't say those words often.

Yet Bryan Hayes will probably be calling him a bust on air all season still.

Like I don't mind if someone isn't high on a certain player, but takes like "I think he is a bust, but I don't watch the Marlies" are embarassing.

Especially when its your job to talk about the team. Calling a 20 yr old D man in the AHL a bust is a bad take in general. Even worse when there is absolutely nothing to base that on. He's been nothing short of impressive since being drafted. Might not have the offensive potential to be a star D man but I actually agree with Button that Daley would be a good comparison for Lilly

 

[Orfieus]

The last playoffs, where the Marlies lost in the conference finals Liljegren was far and away the best Dman for the Marlies (Sandin started strong but faded as the playoffs went)

With my work schedule and how condensed the Leafs schedule is I decided not to buy the Marlies package this year so I'm expecting good reports from all of you

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

If people think Bouchard is great, just wait until we unleash Liljegren with a decent partner.

Any idea when the next free AHL TV game is?

Feb 21 at 2pm MST, whatever that conversion is. Stockton Heat.

ffs

This is actually really bad, he’s gonna be way too inactive during pivotal years of his development

Here is a clip of the injury

Fuuuuuuuck

We seemingly find another gem outside of the top rounds, and he’s Joffery Lupul

Our better prospects in the last few years seem to have a tough luck with injuries .. Sandin, Lily, Robertson, Korshkov, Niemela, Dermott, Abruzzese all have had significant injuries at some point during their development.

 

[stickty111]

With Sandin's injury, Hoefenmayer was recalled by the Marlies. He will be in quarantine so still some time away from playing.

add Ian Scott to the list, had an amazing season in the WHL and hasn’t played since.

The Marlies had both Sapego and McCourt so they must be worried about further injuries.

This is their best chance to prove they are capable of making the AHL next year. Sapego especially since he expires. It is a very competitive LD as it is, and we could be adding other prospects and players next year.

 

[Twine Tickler]

tough break. might be a season ending injury for the kid. 8 weeks would put him returning around the last game of the season and they look to me like a bubble playoff team. Brutal

Couldn’t agree more. Some pretty bad decisions were made on the prospect development side of things, but some folks don’t want to hear it.

 

[kerk]

good, was dirty as hell

 

[Leafs1991]

There's been so much Liljegren slander by a few of you over the last year and I'm glad you are finally tuning into a Marlies game. The guy that pretends he was once a season ticket holder and the guy that has cried about not loaning Liljegren and Sandin to Sweden are awfully quiet tonight.

Right? These guys are playing now and looking good! Well, Sandin is hurt but still.

The guy will probably come back and be like "But they could have been playing this whole time and come over now!" Thats exactly what he will say.

 

[Leafs1991]

Several weeks is fine. Liljegren missed almost a whole year in his draft year and he is turning out just fine. So either this post is you overreacting, or you trolling or sarcasm.
