I was a little worried they wouldn't be able to sign him before they lost his rights. I believe that would have happened in June?
Either way, should be interesting to see how he does in the AHL next season.
Nope, was drafted out of the USHL and played a college game, we had his rights til August of 2019.I was a little worried they wouldn't be able to sign him before they lost his rights. I believe that would have happened in June?

Guy's gonna rip up the AHL. (As long as he doesn't get early season Timashov minutes)

Shouldn't surprise anyone.
He's had a great year (he dip in production post trade I think had a lot more to do with the new team's troubles than with him). He's also made a few visits to the Leafs facilities over the season too - so clearly management likes him.
Not sure if he'll end up with The Lead or will eventually be a trade asset, but the kids skill has "boom" written all over it.
Not surprising. We still had another 2 years we could have waited out, but it would of been pointless. Realistically, he won't play with the Marlies this year, as Windsor is hosting the Memorial Cup, so even if they are knocked out in round 1, they will keep the team around to practice until the tournament.
So much for all the speculation and rumours that he wasn't going to sign with us.
What? He's great friends with Marner and Matthews. I don't think it was ever in doubt.
