Prospect Info: Magic Marner returns to London.

[Pyrophorus]

No player. NONE. Have had the success Marner has had in Junior and went back to the CHL for their draft+2 season. You absolutely do not send him back. Maybe if the AHL were an option but it isn't. You play him on the damn big team.

Is this a fact or statement? I know Domi went 12th, but still wasn't he successful and went back twice?

Domi's draft + 1 year didn't even come close to Marner's draft year. Hell, Domi's draft + 2 year wasn't even at the level of Marner's draft year (Although it was close). Not the same calibre of prospect.

Nope

Marner signed his ELC with the Leafs and the NHL and as a result contracts are honoured in Euro leagues.

Leafs management could agree to loan him to a team overseas (extremely unlikely) as they are the only ones with a say in where he plays now.

PS. Matthews sustained a back injury playing in Europe against bigger stronger players.

Wasn't it kind of a fluke? Thought he had a collision and hurt it when he slammed into the boards? Might be more of a product of the boards hurting him then a player.

Has Marner played against Russia yet?

One example doesn't make a point. Not to mention I believe Giroux was smaller than Marner is, considering Giroux and Marner are the same size now.

Also Marners draft season was still better than any of Girouxs QMJHL seasons.

Marner's 5'11 or 6'0 now? What's his weight?

also, Marner is a much better skater than giroux.

He is playing Monday for the CHL against the Russians in the Series.

Fact. The closest is Giroux but even his Junior numbers are not quite as good as Marner's (And Giroux played in a higher scoring league at that).

And Domi as a prospect wasn't in the same tier as Marner despite his NHL success this season.

Marner in his draft year was quite clearly better than Domi was in his Draft+2. He outproduced him heavily and was the better 2 way player.

Giroux's junior career still wasn't as good as Marner's. Marner still puts up better numbers than Giroux did (And Giroux played in a higher scoring league). AND Marner is actually a strong defensive player and that wasn't exactly the case for Giroux (In his Junior Career at least).
