Prospect Info: Marlies & Prospect Discussion

[aingefan]

I think that is what I see too. I don't see him "insisting" on staying so much as not asking our captain to waive a NMC.

Robertson JT McMann

Was a good line, it's a great third line. Who does that leave the top two as (without Marner or his return in the lineup)?

Knies Matthews Domi
Bertuzzi Holmberg Nylander

Holmberg being the week spot, but he does have upside and is responsible defensively. Maybe we add a bottom six C in the Marner move? Wright? We haven't mentioned Cowan, Minten, or Grebenkin. It's a deep forward group and we would have added to our D substantially with the Marner trade.

Yeah, maybe Greb-Holmberg-Nylander could work. Greb is chippy, Holmberg responsible, and Willy can drive it.
A Marner trade could reshape things. If there’s a C in there, maybe they slot with Pontus OR Greb on one flank with Willy on the other.
If Cowan sticks, I could see NickRob OR McMann-JT-Cowan working. That could distribute the offence well and push guys down.
The others compete on rhe fourth line with Dewar and Reaves and for a chance to move up.
Lots of in house options that get deeper if we see a big trade.

When he first started with the Blues he had

Playoffs
Thomas R. 21 gp 6 pts
Dunn 1. 20 gp 8 pts
Blais 1 15 gp 3 pts
Barbashev 1 25 gp 6 pts
Sanford 1 8 gp 4 pts

It seems as though he trusted his Rookies and players that had played in the league for one yr in the playoffs

That’s good information.
And those players go through their learning curves.
I like the sounds of that.

I would rather have Berube teaching our young player to play the right way than Keefe.

 

[horner]

Exactly. I guess if we get a return in a Marner around two dmen, or one dman and cap space to get a second one that might open a spot up front for him.

Of course I forgot Cowan in the mix for ice time too.

Bertuzzi Matthews Domi
Robertson Holmberg Nylander
Knies Tavares McMann
Jarnkrok Dewar Cowan
Reaves

Rielly XXX
XXX Liljegren
Benoit McCabe
Lyubushkin

We aren't signing Lyubushkin to be a 7th dman

I think Ljiligren and Jamcrock will be traded

If Cowan makes the team it won't be on the 4th line

Hoping Montour reaches Free Agency, we need that shot on the PP

Tanev would be a great partner for Rielly

I didn't really spend too much time on the pairings and lines. We will need at least seven D men and they will all play. I also think Liljegren will be traded but not sure if the value or return.

Cowan is the type of guy that can play up and down the lineup and C or W, so eas easiest to start in the 13th spot. Injuries will hit the F lines too. He will play.

Just wanted to drop in and give the scouting/development of some NHL ready picks that are graduating, and becoming important peices to the Leafs lineup:

Knies
McMann
Holmberg
Robertson
Woll

Where did Kampf and his $2.5 go?

[Menzinger]

This was known already. Curious if the Lafs circle back next spring, even for a Marlies contract

 

[ErnieLeafs]

What is he as a prospect? 7D? Bottom pairing? AHL guy?

 

[Menzinger]

I think hes worth keeping in the system, especially if.he has a strong next season. At least as an AHL/ECHL path for the next couple years. I'd see him more as a potential #7/6

He's got s good hockey IQ, makes lots of quite plays really well which don't always make.thr highlight reel but make a positive on ice impact

 

[conFABulator]

Where did Kampf and his $2.5 go?

That's has to get traded. I am not expecting much return but don't believe he and Jarnkrok are immovable.

We need that $5M off the books and replaced with league minimums in Dewar and maybe Steeves.

 

[mydnyte]

my bigger concern is why does he have us resigning Bertuzzi, he's a major factor to why we lost the series, moreso than Marner for certain.
All he did was take selfish penalties and kill momentum on every shift, and then go for a lazy line change on the SWG (series winning goal) Pasta was his man.

shhhh......you cant mentioned that here.....some already have Bert and Domi as gods here. It was all Marners fault and Mathews and Nylander are wimps for missing games because they have no "heart" and didnt really have injuries.

Thank you.

 

[SprDaVE]

Without much news about Lisowsky, seems likely he's not going to be signed at this rate.

 

[I am Canadian]

Any chance Leafs use Niemela as a #6, #7 guy next year? With PP minutes on either unit depending on how it goes?

I could see him getting a call up next year but would be surprised if he made the team out of camp.

It doesn't take much news. One day we will just hear he is signed, it we want to sign him.

 

[The Iceman]

Penguins have signed defenseman Filip Kral to a one-year contract.The contract runs through the 2024.25 season and carries an average annual value of $775,000 at the NHL level.

Not to be that guy but not a Marlie/Leafs prospect anymore, kind of irrelevant.

I was annoyed we didn't sign him, he looked good anytime I saw him.

But also, likely a 5/6 at best, so not too concerning.

I hope not, I'd rather give Timmins some time there if we are going that route.

If Liljegren gets traded his chances of that improve but I think most likely scenario is he will be first call up in case of injury

It would be weird to trade Lilly only to call up a smaller, weaker version of him.
