Defence:

Harrington-Percy
Loov-Granberg

[MapleLife*]

I want Kapenen to stay in Europe

Need to keep top 6 roles available in the Marlies

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Has to be Calder Cup favourite is Nylander is there for the year. Absolutely stacked.

 

[mikebel111*]

this team will be good

the good return we got from the "player above all the team" Kessel got us 2 good prospects.

hes ahl bound, said he was leaving for the pens ahl affiliate on july 11th

Uh, no.

 

[Apotheosis]

I was thinking about that as well. And to think after one draft and spare drafts when we didn't intend to "rebuild" our prospect pool is already really deep.

Nylander, Marner, Kapanen, Brown, Leipsic etc. On top of Rielly already being on the team.

 

[LeafChief]

Kapanen came over to play in the AHL (18 years old) at the end of last season. Had a really good playoffs for WBS.

I don't see him not playing on the Marlies.

Naw, I'd rather Kapanen get acclimated to the NA game on a great team and be in a winning environment with guys he'll probably be playing with on the big club going forward.

[The Podium]

Apparently Harringtons pairing allowed only 5GA all season. I think hes done ll that he can in the AHL

Who did he play with?

 

[Atomos2]

Umm...stacked? Ya...no.

 

[-DeMo-]

I expect Nylander and Leivo to be on the Leafs next year. personally

Perhaps, but where would he fit with the Leafs right now? They have Phaneuf (maybe), Rielly, Gardiner, Polak, Robidas, Hunwick, and I feel like Granberg or Percy would likely get the call before he would.

That's great to hear. It seems that he struggled mightily in his NHL audition (-10).

 

[-DeMo-]

Apparently Harringtons pairing allowed only 5GA all season. I think hes done ll that he can in the AHL

he was a minus in 10 games, so he was on for alot more then 5GA's

 

[TheOtherSide]

Apparently Harringtons pairing allowed only 5GA all season. I think hes done ll that he can in the AHL

That must be false....and he was a -10 in 10 games in the NHL. I know +/- is junk but still,

Errr....I don't know how

 

[Bullseye]

He;s already been in the AHL last season 5 pts in 7 p/o games - he's AHL material:


Regular Season Playoffs
Season Team Lge GP G A Pts PIM +/- GP G A Pts
2012-13 KalPa Kuopio SM-liiga 13 4 0 4 2 1 4 0 1 1 2
2013-14 KalPa Kuopio SM-liiga 47 7 7 14 10 -8
2014-15 KalPa Kuopio SM-liiga 41 11 10 21 14 2
2014-15 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins AHL 4 1 1 2 0 -1 7 3 2 5

[I Believe]

Our prospect pool is looking mighty fine.

Can't remember the last time I thought that.

 

[Bullseye]

It' gonna be a blast to watch Babcock take who he wants and mold them into his system. Then Keefe will do they same with the Marlies.

I am looking forward to the fall now!

 

[MR4]

Could care less for Granberg now, NHL or dump him so we can keep Brennan on the AHL team.

And keep Kapanen over, he's our best true wing prospect right now. He should be developing chemistry with our other top guys

 

[The Podium]

That must be false....and he was a -10 in 10 games in the NHL. I know +/- is junk but still,

AHL guys...

I think the AHL only contracts probably get shoved down to the ECHL to let Bailey and Soshnikov get some playing time. I expect Frattin and Carrick to be on the Leafs. The Marlies are probably going to be more exciting to watch than the Leafs next season.
