Leaked out last week that he was about to sign his ELC.
He's been very good for the Marlies. Not sure about his NHL potential but if he keeps developing you just never know. Another great find from Dubas.

So the only forwards who have been in the NHL for over two years would be Kadri and Marleau?

Yes. Don't see a problem with it. Only forward off this year's roster but not my projected next year's roster worth mentioning in terms of being a leader is Komarov. And he's a 4th liner now.
Komarov, and JVR gone.....Leivo has a chance to play as a Leaf.....Johnson and Marchment make Leivo the # 14 forward again

Every time I’ve watched him he’s been noticeable and impressive. Great story and easy to cheer for. Keep building that depth, going to need it as the cap gets more complicated.

Nice signing, we need size in our forward corps. Marchment plays big, is beginning to fill out his frame (according to Keefe, he still can get even stronger) and has some skill to boot. Don't know if he has top 6 upside but he's a good option for size, compete, physicality in the bottom 6 with some skill to boot- prototypical late boomer starting to fill out his frame. From what I've seen, he's a good skater at his size too.

Well deserved and about time. He was the guy who made Rychel expendable.
Now needs to develop his PK and defensive game to truly have a shot as a 4th liner. It'll be tough getting in over Matt Martin and Josh Leivo without a physical element or offensive skill, but simply by the fact they are playing Dominic Moore on the LW instead of playing Martin or Leivo consistently, it has been proven that defense and PK skill could be endearing enough to warrant a top 12 job from Babcock. With Komarov and JvR as UFA's and Leivo and Martin as potential trade bait with only Aaltonen, Grundstrom and Johnsson as his current competition, he does have a decent shot at an NHL job.
Worst case, the guy is still a good forward to have for the Marlies.

Low risk, no downside as far as I can see 140 grand if he stays with the Marlies for 2 years. What’s not to work out?
