Recalled/Assigned: Minten called up

[seanlinden]

Put me in the suprised bucket....

I know he's been great in the 5 games hes played, but I would have thought that they'd have maybe given the opportunity to Grebyonkin... simply to allow him to continue to be the Marlies 1st line centre and build more confidence.

Personally, I'm hoping they dont just stick him in Kampf's spot on the 4th line. Give him Robertson at the very least... heck, maybe give him Nylander and see what he can actually do.

If Grebenkin played centre, he would have probably started the season with the Maple Leafs. This is a pretty easy call-up given Kampf going down opens up a centre spot which also happens to be a weak spot for us. I’m hoping they stick Minten on the third line and move Lorentz as the 4th line centre in the meantime.

I don't think he's ready, but if he were to develop into a 35-40 point 3 c this year, this changes things.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Leafs need to hit on some of their draft picks if you know what i mean

I wasn't when I watched him play Saturday a very mature pro game.
I noticed on the PK he was motiong players where to play
He seems to know where the puck is going when the oppotition player has the puck.
He's a smart safe player

A big opportunity for him to steal a job away from Holmberg once Kampf is healthy

Holmberg has done everything to lose a job

 

[GoonieFace]

Surround him with a couple of good players please, don’t shove him on the 4th line

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Go Fraser

 

[Anthrax442]

now just claim kapanan and rock this lineup wednesday

mcmann - jt - marner
robertson - nylander - domi
knies - minten - kapanen
dewar - lorentz - steeves

I think Edmonton got Kappi

I hope this to be true. But it feels like they wouldn’t risk putting Holmberg on waivers

With our center depth there just isn’t enough centers to call up Greb. I agree I thought he’d be the next call up too

 

[DarkKnight]

Just hope they put him in the three hole, move Blackholeberg to the fourth. Give him some ice time and line mates. There's nothing this team needs more than center options, don't want to put pressure on the kid, but it would be great if shows well.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

He’s been so good in the AHL I wonder if he wouldn’t have made the Leafs outright had he been able to participate in camp instead of having to nurse an ankle injury.

 

[stats1]

This is a pretty big opportunity for him. Wouldn’t be shocked if he stole someone’s job

Seen on Berube's door:

 

[Menzinger]

Have barely watched the Marlies this year, but fingers crossed he makes a good impression. A home grown 3C solves a lot of problems moving forward

 

[The Shadow]

If this guy sticks this is a huge addition.

 

[darrylsittler27]

Wow. that center ice looks shallow. I doubt Minten ever goes back. Mathews has a history ,so it's time.

 

[Jmo89]

can be play nort stuff stake corners fast nuff gaols?

Is this an elite call-up?

yea, it really sucks when a plug like Kampf is out. Maybe Minten can chip in with a goal or 2?

He could score 2 goals and double the entire production of the bottom 6 outside of Lorentz and Patches.*

*I consider McMann part of the top 6.

 

[TMLAM34]

I wonder if Berube will play Minten and Steeves together given they were linemates for the Marlies. Maybe we see a fourth line of Lorentz - Minten - Steeves tomorrow night?

I think Minten gets 3rd line minutes.Im excited because now we can see if we have the 3rd line C we need so badly. We also need some guys to realize they will be out of a job soon.

Steeves was on a line with Lorentz and Dewar, Minten with Holmberg and Robertson at practice.

Tavares, Domi, Dewar, Lorentz, Holmberg and Steeves can all play C.

Knies: yes
Robertson: oh hell naw
