this is probably not the right comparison but I get Andreas Johnson vibes from him.

As @SeaOfBlue mentioned, Johnsson is more skilled and offensively oriented. Holmberg is better defensively and can play a complementry role in any line.

 

[stickty111]

Pretty sure his 16th point.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Primary assist from your own side of the sheet...

Easy game.

Yep, I believe he's official committed to Uni of Minnesota. He's a local kid from there so makes sense.

There's probably only 1 or 2 guys in the pool that are going to be top-6 threats within the next 5 years but we have an obscenely healthy pipeline of guys who seem like sure bets at being competent middle-6/bottom-4 players on ELCs. I can't see us needing Ritchie-caliber UFA signings for a good 3 or 4 years once the 2019/2020 drafts start graduating consistently. Even if we traded Robertson + Amirov + Sandin/Liljegren at the deadline, the Kral/Niemela/Hirvonen/SDA/Abramov tier guys should produce some NHLers within a year or two.

Thats what I meant by high impact players. I only see Knies and Tverberg right now as that. Amirov could too if he played more. I do see many more becoming at most a 3rd/4th liner or complimentary player which is good though.

 

[Zookeeper]

Is amirov coming over next year?

He is supposed to. He's only signed to a KHL deal for this season and on loan there by the Leafs since he has an NHL contract already.

Sounds like he could potentially be joining the Marlies at the end of this season/playoffs.

Goal and 2 assists for Villeneuve including a SH assist

The guy knows how to score big goals

Now that brings a tear to my eye if he can pan out to be that big rugged goal scoring LWer that we are in desperate need of
Beautiful
Simply beautiful old school hockey there !

Need a big physical forward so badly. Who can play and skate

Last time we had some serious size with ruggedness and skill was probably Owen Nolan

I really like Villeneuve I think he’s going to be an NHLer at some point

right! But we gotta get him signed, that’s always the risk of NCAA guys, they have a lot of control over their careers

I'd say he falls in the category of "very nice to have" over "needs badly".

Hoping he can continue his trajectory!!

 

[shaner8989]

When does Petruzelli get a start

Do you want to play with Matthews and Marner

 

[Legion34]

this is the most important thing.

His skating is very poor in my opinion. He really only has a motor when he has a clear runway to take off on. Have never really been overly high on him for that reason alone. I was impressed with him at the rookie development camp though. I was pleasantly surprised at the IQ of the player. I don't know if I see NHL quite yet, but he's definitely not as bad as I once thought. He's kind of a back burner prospect for me. I am not expecting anything, but he might be one of those guys that kind of pops up out of no where and plays for the Leafs one day. Kind of the same way I see Rubins and Kral TBH

I think he has the offensive skills to make it. If you can move the puck you've got a chance. Might not be with the leafs but I think he'll get NHL games at some point. His skating does leave something to be desired. He might need to call Barbara for her private lessons now that shes no longer with the Leafs.

villeneuve looked way better than I expected in rookie camp.
