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.

Hear me out, Nylander with Matthews and Marner ... JT centers the 2nd line with (whoever) and Taylor Hall

Anyone with eyes on Woll yesterday?

22/24 is fine sounding, also suggests pretty good D and possession.

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

Yeah, the W’s haven’t come easy during his tenure.
Maybe he’s settling into his role, some. Not just the w’s but I don’t remember any questionable sound bites from this year at least.

Looked pretty good from what I saw.
Mishandled a puck which cost him a goal.

I haven't seen a lot but if I had to sum up his play this season, so far, I'd say: "encouraging."

I would call him mediocre. Lets in some bad goals and there are some pucks he can play better with his positioning and reaction time, but nothing that should be a cause for concern especially with the quality of defense in front of him. Also makes a number of big saves and doesn't look like he is fighting the puck at all, the latter of which is a major improvement from last year.

It is a complete stretch, but I wonder if SDA and Robby could be the framework of our 3rd line next year. Obviously this would not be a line that would necessarily be used as a matchup checking line . This would be used as a tertiary scoring line, that could really cause trouble down the lineup. Not to mention their ELC contracts would come in really nice. It would allow us to move on from Kerfoot, and if we also move on from Freddy we could move some pieces around to make a play for Forsberg, even while giving Hyman a raise. SDA looks surprisingly stronger on the puck than i was expecting, and far more NHL ready than I ever thought he'd be. Its only been 2 games w/ the Marlies, but he also had a very strong season in the KHL. Our window technically is now. But it really is open until when Matthews contract expires. Having SDA in the fold on an ELC would go a long way into freeing up some capital to use elsewhere. Here is what our top 9 could look like:

Forsberg - Matthews - Marner
Galchenyuk - JT - Willy
Robertson - SDA - Hyman

again, this is all in fun. But I have truly been encouraged by SDA's development, and I have been on the record saying I am not overly high on this player in the past

Nice, thanks
When you track goalies, it shows what a fine line there sometimes is between ‘great’ and ‘not quite enough’.

I'd be down for that as long as they could get a true shutdown, faceoff-winning, PK-playing, 4th line centre.

I've only seen a few games but he seems to be a little more composed and has come up big at times on high danger chances. He has been scrambling a lot less.

I would say his development is moving in a positive direction. Likely still 2 years away.

If Rodian Amirov signing with the Leafs after his season ends are true, I am assuming the contract will start next year? which would mean he would need to sign an ATO to play with the Marlies this year. Does anyone know what would be the advantage for Rodian to come play? he obviously would not be making money on an ATO correct? I guess the only advantage would be exposure and personal growth for himself. That would be a lot of hockey for him in a single season. Between KHL, MHL and international he has already played 63 games this year. Might be a tall ask to play with the Marlies for the remainder of the year and playoffs should they make it. Especially if he wouldn't be getting paid lol He'd have to have Robertson level drive to want to play that much puck

Yes, he definitely needs to get stronger before he's ready to join the Leafs. At least one year away.

Surprised they haven't let Scott play a game as of yet....it can't be good for his development.

He has been injured for a while, so it is not the worst thing in the world for him to get some practice time first.

Besides, he has only missed like 2 AHL games (both of which have gone to Woll instead, who also needs to get as many games as possible) since he has returned from his injury.

AHL PTOs get paid im pretty sure, just not a ton. Limited to I think 25 games.
Only NHL ATO's arent paid, and they are limited to 1 game.

ok, I don't know anything when it comes to that. Either way, would be a lot of hockey for Rodian. Would totally understand if he and the Leafs organization wanted to give him a break. By the time he finishes with Topler and quarantines, he'd be ready for a playoff push if the Marlies are in one by then. As a fan I'd love to see it, but a long playoff run would put him over 80+ games for the year. Might be a bit much for a kid his age, but i guess he better get used to it
 
Bracco with 12 points in 20 games in Liiga this year.

I know he had some off ice issues but it's absolutely fascinating to me that he has seemingly forgotten how to do the things that made him successful in his first two years with the Marlies.

Not disagreeing at all. What an amateur PTO does do is makes sure he is around the other guys.

Working with Barb on his skating, our strength and conditioning coaches, improving his english etc.
I like the idea of him signing a PTO and only playing like 1 game a week.
Let him get used to the organization, and the city.

Imagine how much better he will be next season if he is in and around the team, working out with our staff every day for months?
