Prospect Info: Marlies/Prospects Thread - The AHL is up and prospects are in play

[The Iceman]

So you are commenting on him not being on their power play, or being quarterback with patience, without watching? He has been THE PP quarterback this year, and in general as well. Your commentary couldn't be further off the mark. Eight points in twelve games, dominating play at times, quarterbacking, and yet still playing strong D. Three of eight points, while quarterbacking the PP>

By the way, here is a clip of their last game, where he completely quarterbacked the play, and scored the goal, also showed sound defensive awareness.

Following Lily was like the shell game. Hard to keep track, lots of movement. I lost him when he came back into the picture and had to watch the clip again.

AHL production by age up to the 21yo season (current season for Liljegren) has some pretty significant correlation with NHL success (not perfect by any means, but one of the best predictors). Liljegren's has been elite by age throughout his AHL career, trending above guys like Ryan Pulock who followed a similar development path.

So I mean its fine if you don't want him to turn out, but the indicators on him are much better than you're suggesting. If you're a leaf fan, I don't know why you'd be betting against him.

by me saying he is not really a good PP guy and is not really used as a PP guy on the marlies means the below to you?

Look at the twitter hot takes. Not a lot of processing power there. Never saw Liljegren, but he'll listen to Bryan Hayes.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

According to Marlies coach, Moore.

Nick Robertson expected to play big minutes in his return.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Good suggestion, he's been added to my ignore list too

Added as well. Pretty clear he has little to no clue what he's talking about.

if you watched marlies you would know he is very rarely used on the PP and its been like that since day 1 on the marlies, you problem i s you listen to the guys in this thread who dont watch the games and twitter followers

But but but narrative.

 

[stickty111]

Do you watch the Marlies at all? How often have you watched them?

This take is bordering on ridiculous. I suggest you watch a Marlies game for once and stop getting your Liljegren updates from Brian Hayes.

Seriously I don't know if you're trolling and purposely trying to stir us up in here, but you're brainless when it comes to Liljegren's game and abilities

Not even worth my time "bud". Your opinion means less to me than the toilet paper I flushed this morning. Have a good day

The guy is clearly a troll who should be banned from the thread. I just ignored him, but it is obvious he has not watched more than like 1 or 2 Marlies games in his life.

Those posts from the user look pretty identical to another user.
@LeafChief I think you know who I mean.

Liljegren was the second PP quarterback all year last year and at times ran the first PP very well. This year he has been on both PP units at different times. Liljegren is very clearly an elite PP quarterback at the AHL level, his numbers support this. The argument is that he should be getting more PP time down in the AHL, not less.

it's almost like you could look at his box scores and the odd highlight and be like "no shit you want this guy on your powerplay" haha.

 

[Maplebeasts]

I will be very disappointed if Liljegren doesn't even get a look with the Leafs this year. There is no way he hasn't earned a game and a team trying to win a cup should be giving someone playing like this a chance. I don't care if Bogosian has been solid, I seriously think Liljegren would make the Leafs better now and they should be making room.

Totally agreed. We are comfortably making the playoffs, so give the young d a chance and rest some of our players. I think you could give Lily 5 games with Muzzin with sheltered usage to get his feet under him now rather than the playoffs for the first time. Can’t keep using the excuse that theyre too inexperienced and rely on Marincin again.

Actually, I’d like to see the same thing with Nylander getting reps playing C. Putting JT on the top line and putting Willy at C with no reps during the year was shortsighted last year too. At least you’ll know whether you have the option instead of gambling big time.

 

[Leafs1991]

ok bud, youre one of those guys that I bet thinks little green should have been on the leafs years ago right, now tell me why I should listen to your opinion on him?

Why are you making assumptions?

These guys have been watching the games, and its clear you haven't been. You should drop the old narrative.

[stickty111]

Lineup Changes:
Robertson returns, Elynuk and Pooley also in up front.
Brooks and Sabourin on taxi squad are out, Conrad also out.
Sapego makes his AHL debut. Rosen also in.
Liljegren on taxi squad is out. McCourt also out.
Woll starts.

SDA and Robertson reunited. Sapego making his debut. Been high on him for sometime. Not a great ECHL season last year but has been a late bloomer in his career.

SDA with a couple more apples

 

[Stringer Bell]

Sparks not having a good game...

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

SDA going for the reverse CY Young.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Is Sandingo skating yet?

 

[Maplebeasts]

I was busy with the Leafs game and missed the Marlies. Who stood out?

 

[stickty111]

Fun fact, this is only the 2nd 3 game winning streak under Moore for the Marlies.

 

[stickty111]

Looks like SDA had another good game but man. You need to shoot that

That is indeed the most SDA clip. So many times in juniors he's passed up wide-open shots to setup his teammates. It's absurd because he's got a very good wrist shot that he can easily beat goalies with should he choose to do so. I just don't get it.

Not sure how reliable but
