13-14 Prospects Thread Version XXI: Finn 2nd. in PPG OHL Defenders

[Stringer Bell]

I just noticed our 2011 6th round draft pick, Dennis Robertson finished his season this year at Brown and is now on Carolina's farm team, the Charlotte Checkers roster... Wouldn't we still own his rights just like how we signed Knodel?

He was traded with Liles for Tim Gleason.

JML trade. I was high on Robertson, he was a strong leader at Brown. I wish him the best of luck with the Carolina organization.

He was traded with Liles for Tim Gleason.

right, right. My bad. I knew that. Just a brain fart. ha thanks buddy.

 

[Joey Hoser]

He's talking about the Leafs 1st line all college players who haven't showed up recently.

Yeah, not like those purebred, CHL-trained, dependable workhorses Phaneuf and Clarkson.

Gauthier has also been a beast on faceoffs. Good to see his game being elevated down the stretch.

Good overall.
Impressive numbers from Rupert. No one ever talks about him so I forgot him. He will be with the Marlies next season?

 

[Warden of the North]

Verhaeghe is an interesting prospect. Really hope he pans out.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Yup he should be .. It'll be interesting to see if the Leafs sign his brother too, both could vie for 4th line duty to start with the Marlies next year

 

[Ace88*]

Verhaeghe is an interesting prospect. Really hope he pans out.

I believe he can with the proper training in the AHL. I wouldn't want to see him in the NHL until he's absolutely ready, if i had to guess i'd say he could be a full time NHLer by the time he's 24.

 

[Joey Hoser]

Wasn't he regarded as a bit of a defensive/checking stud before being thrust into this more-offensive role?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Not to nitpick, because obviously everyone has bad games but I noticed Finn was a -2 in a 7-2 win last night, reminds me of one awesome night Lebda had one time.

 

[Ace88*]

lol no not really. he was just buried in Niagara behind Strome et al

 

[FreeBird]

Good overall.

Is he signed yet?

 

[mikebel111*]

Is he signed yet?

I thought ryan was signed. I could be wrong though. Though i am sure he will be signed soon. Some players get signed very late

 

[Hotlanta]

I can see him and his brother getting 4th line duties next season seeing as Biggs, Devane, Broll, Carrick & maybe Ross will be getting promotions up the roster, while Smithson, Staubitz & maybe McLaren and Ryan leave the squad.

 

[7even]

Verhaeghe 1+1.

 

[LeafsTop6]

Not signed yet. but since we have 3 or 4 guys who are UFA on the marlies (staubitz, lasch, brennan, smithson) who don't matter in the grand scheme really, I'm assuming that they're will be a few more signings (i.e ruperts).

 

[goonx]

Has nothing to do with him not being good enough, just like Justin Schultz did..you want to make the team as fast as you can. Why would he sign with a team with a glut of young D-men fighting for the same spots as he is when he can sign with someone else who he thinks gives him a quicker way to the NHL.

Agreed, Toronto has a lot of d prospects in the pipeline.

The blackhawks are also a very well respected and "winning" organization that has developed their own homegrown prospects. i.e. Keith, Toews, Saad, Shaw, Leddy

 

[StuckOutHere]

Can't find the article anymore, but Tom Nilsson wants to come over to play with the Marlies now that his season is done. Hasn't been decided.

When he signed his ELC last season, the Leafs said he would play one more season in the SHL and then make the jump to the Marlies/Leafs. Basically the same thing Granberg went through a season prior.

If he wants to come over now though, I guess that would be nice but probably not likely. Wouldn't hurt to join practice and soak in what the schedule is like.

Would that eat a year of contract? I have no idea how that works in the AHL.

I'd like him to come over and get in a few games to see where he is in his development.

 

[KRM]

Bergman says Leafs want Nilsson with the Marlies next season.
