Been playing my NHL14 recently, random thought came up: Who should back up Mac down in the Marlies. Who's playing better right now, Sparks or Gibson? I don't follow the Marlies at all unfortunately.

U cant really go wrong with either one.
Also u need to start following them. They are hungry kids who put in effort.
Complete opposite of the leafs

How does it work anyways? Mac starts I assume, and they just rotat as backups? Let's hope we actually develop them through the years. Never knew what happened TO Ryan's and Owuya

Yup mac is starter. And than rotation. If one guy is in AHL, other is in ECHL. And vice versa

ross is done unless there is a miracle uturn. mcgregg also has a shorter leash with verhaeghe coming up in 2 seasons, and if toninato or camenasari turn it up. i think that brown or verhaeghe have more potential than mcgregg, who is behind holland in skill imo.

Why would McKegg have a short leash, and what does that have to do with Verhaeghe?

McKegg was more productive in junior, on a worse team, and is nearly a PPG player in the AHL at 21.

McKegg done at 21, Abbott is a lock ...

Younger is better unless you have a favorite and then it doesn't matter that he spent 4 years in the NCAA.

Petter Granberg should be vying for a spot on our D next year, will be nice to have 2 smart, defensively sound D men on our D next year in Gunnarson and Granberg next year.

With Rielly with another year under his belt. Things should be improving for us. If we can lose Gardiner and Franson on the blueline.

Gardiner? Jake Gardiner? the D who's scored a bunch of clutch goals these few games while our forwards couldn't?

Yes, we didn't win the games he scored goals on but he gave us a chance to come back.

i'm not saying he doesn't have his own deficiencies as well but he's not a piece to just get "rid of"

My best guess with Ross is that his heart just isn't in it.
Or not enough to elevate his game to the level of his peers.
At least, it has never looked that way.

For all the problems on the big squad,
my concerns are elated greatly by the farm system.

Mine too .. I have no idea where people get this idea that the Leafs have a bad prospect pool, the farm team is full of quality heart and soul guys that play with an edge and will make excellent role players in the future if not anything else

Best part is that the Marlies will have an influx of young players coming in from the junior ranks/overseas next season too

Sucks about Ross - he looked like such a gem in junior .. Doesn't seem like he has the drive or work ethic to elevate his game to the pro level

Ross was a super pest in juniors and played a physical aggressive style. But to play that style as a pro when you dont have the size is very difficult. So my guess is that what worked for him in juniors does not work at the AHL level and will then of course not work at the NHL level.

watching Marlies game before my bud gets here for Leafs. Carrick just whooped the opposing centreman in a fight after exchanging a couple crosschecks before the linesman dropped the puck

WhatASaveDave · Mar 28, 2014

Ashton just scored a goal. 20 Games Played, 15 Goals 5 Assists. Not too shabby

Jacquestrapless · Mar 28, 2014

Marlies are everything the Leafs want to be. Is that a valid statement? Ignoring the talent differential of course, I meant playing style.

Drew311 · Mar 28, 2014

Sounds like a goal-scorer! Let's call him up so we can put him on a line with Colton Orr and play him 5 minutes a night.

mikebel111* · Mar 29, 2014

Marlies magic number to clinch division at 4 now

...exactly, and this is just one of my complaints about Carlyle.I thought the blue and white disease was supposed to end with him and players played , or didn't play, based on their merits or lack thereof. A player needs a good stretch at the NHL level to prove whether or not he can cut it.Putting players in the best position for them to succeed is the way to go. Then he either shows he belongs...or he doesn't.

Kyle the reporter tweeted Knodel should be in the lineup this afternoon

kilgro · Mar 29, 2014

Leivo just got in a fight standing up for Abbott after he took a nice check. Leivo with the win

Now Carrick takes on a huge mother ****er. Gotta love him

LeafsMonster · Mar 29, 2014

Leivo in a fight! Not sure if thats common, but good for him.

Stuck up for abbott when he got hit.

Leafidelity · Mar 29, 2014

How does Knodel look?

BertCorbeau · Mar 29, 2014

Carrick sounds like a gem .. Hope he can become a great 4th liner one day
