Prospect Info: Marlies and Prospects Discussion - 2018/19 Edition II

[acrobaticgoalie]

When Fedor Gordeev has more of an impact that Adam Boqvist.

I’ve been saying for the past year OHL scouts have been buzzing about the guy

We should be giving Gordeev and Scott their ELC’s like yesterday

Hopefully he can get traded to a better team and show what he can do

 

[Mr Hockey]

Nope. He was called back to the Canucks for a bit. Now he's back on the Marlies

i would give you a like but you have to wait a few days

Whats the cut off date? Is there a benefit for delaying it?

May 15th or they enter the draft.

And no benefit. To be fair, Dubas and Pridham were busy with signing Nylander, and I imagine there’s discussions happening with Matthews camp, but I imagine we’ll see the ELC’s happen early in the new year

 

[sxvnert]

Gagner back with the marlies already.

I'm kind of confused with this Gordeev hype, if he's as good as everyone says he is, why isn't he invited to the WJC? or is he?

Team Canada and Russia are really tough to make... Just because he's not at that level doesn't mean he's not playing really well.

Fair enough, was just confused, simply stat watching nothing looks too appealing. But again, I haven't seen him so was just trying to figure out what part of his game people find amazing.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

He has 16 points in 25 games as a defenceman for Flint.

Here's the OHL standings, take a look where Flint is and then come back.

He's a very interesting mix of size, tools and production on a **** house team, I'm not saying he ends up being anything but that's a very intriguing mix

 

[Canada4Gold]

Ian Scott... lost? What is this voodoo? 3-2 in a shootout

 

[daethfromabove1979]

He's a really good skater for a big man, looks really good on the rush and has some nice goals flying up the ice. His defense is a work in progress though, needs to work on better positioning, often looks a bit lost in his own zone. I think he would really struggle if he was with the Marlies next year but there's hope for improvement.

Where are you seeing this hype about him being amazing?

Usually you'd look for much better production from a d-man when trying to predict an NHL future but Flint is just so bad that Gordeev is very hard to judge that way. His production for that team is actually not too bad, mix that in with just how impressive he skates for his size and you might have a promising prospect.

To the worst team in the WHL no less.

 

[deletethis]

Gordeev does show some flash on those Youtube highlight vids. He still seems a bit like a winger converted to defense. I do wonder what he would do with higher quality teammates. The Leafs drafted a bucket load of these giant defense projects while Hunter was here. Maybe he'll be the one to hit.

 

[The Assclown]

Can anyone who has been watching the Marlies this year shed some light on how Rosen has been playing? Is he going to be able to step into the roster next year when Jake Gardiner inevitably leaves?

 

[Fogelhund]

This was the Marlies forward lineup, for their last game.

Timashov Mueller Bracco
Engvall Jooris Grundstrom
Marchment Brooks Moore
Klimchuk Greening Clark

Since then, they've added Carcone, and Gagner is back.... so who sits?

yeah was just going to say this. He played 50-50 wing/D in his first season, he hasn't been a full time Dman that long at all.

Hunter's fetish never paid off imo, gordeev is pretty much the final hope for the giants

Carcone on 4RW, Gagner at 2C, Jooris or Greening at 4C. Other one sits.

Most likely Marlies trade Jooris for depth at a different spot, like top 4 RD or in net. If the Marlies get a top 4 RD, Subban could be dealt for a goalie.

Can we afford to trade a Jooris? What if Vancouver recalls Gagner again?

 

[Fogelhund]

Pontus Holmberg also named to preliminary Sweden WJC roster.

 

[Morguee]

So the Leivo trade was actually a 2 AHLers for 1 for Leaf.

Likely Clark and Jorris sit while Gagner and Carcone tag in. All the Marlies need is some adequate goaltending.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Cracknell is on LTIR. As soon as he returns, both Jooris and Greening would be sitting in the press box. If Jooris is gone and Gagner is recalled (or there is just an injury), Cracknell moves up from the 4C spot (he's much better than that anyways) and Greening slots back in. There are also more than a handful of Growlers capable of playing 4C.

Plus Jooris has been crap. He's one of the worst forwards on the Marlies and should have been considered a healthy scratch candidate even before the Leafs got Carcone, Klimchuk and Gagner in the past week. Same goes for Greening. Those aforementioned Growlers may seriously give him a run for his money, if they are given a legitimate chance.

My concern would be more whether or not anyone gives us any remotely close to a good top 4 RD for Jooris than wanting to move him.
