Marlies win 6-5 in the shootout, and also have clinched a playoff spot
Not you, but for some height is their biggest preference
Marlies manage the shootout win, 6-5.
Matt Murray 22/27….but 3/3 in the shootout. Marlies didn’t help him out much giving up 3 pp goals on 7 (!) chances. Welcome back Matt, lol.
Alex Steeves with two goals. Bunch of Growlers/part timers got into this one.

Terrific news if accurate. Could see one year with the Marlies and then up with the Leafs.

Hopefully the Grebyonkin news is true. Would love to see what he can show in training camp next season. Definitely a wild card.

It's insane to me that he was their 2nd scorer through the year and in his last game or two barely received 5 minutes of ice time apparently. The KHL is so freaking weird.
I'm not surprised he'd jump to the AHL/NHL as soon as possible if the report is true.

Why is he back in the VHL? I thought he was doing well in the KHL

He was doing very well but Kazan's #1 goaltender is Bilyalov and I guess they wanted AA to get a lot of starts in the VHL as opposed to sitting on the bench.

Grebenkin coming over next year would be huge.
Say what you will about the KHL developing players, but Magnitigorsk really helped Grebenkin out loaning him to Khabarovsk last season. He got to play meaningful minutes in the KHL last year, now this season he's had the chance to be one of the key players on a team making a deep run in the playoffs. If he comes over to NA next year, his development path will have basically been as perfect as it could be.
Knies, Robertson, Grebenkin, Minten, and Cowan is a really strong group of cheap young forwards in our system behind Matthews, Marner, Nylander.
I really like Robertson and think there's a good chance he'll score 30 in the NHL at some point, but with all these kids upfront and really nothing besides Niemela on the back-end, you have to think we could look to move Robertson + for a young D in the off-season.

I am assuming around the time they realized he was committed to being NA bound after the season is about the time his ice time was stripped back.

Well, we can speculate that if they knew his intentions that could sway their deployment decisions.
Wouldn't be the first time I/we heard of such things.
EDIT: I should have read a couple posts down ;-)

Marlies are a good option for Ontario players who might see a longer road to the NHL as a possibility.
School in summer, paid for by the OHL (I'm betting they still have the X years college for Y years OHL deal)?

Decent signing for the Marlies there.
I hope they (Leafs or Marlies) can sign Samuel Mayer. 6'3" LHD from the 67s, former 1st rounder of the Petes. I saw him play the other day again and he was very solid. He reminded me a bit of Jake McCabe.

Was not expecting to see a notification on my phone that the Leafs have signed Nicolas Mattinen.
Wild story with him being a Leafs draft pick in 2016 and went unsigned. Looks like he's had an interesting path since and had a big year in the DEL this season. 6'5 RHD.

Player of the year in the DEL this season. Could be a pretty solid veteran for the Marlies next year.

Weird.
He was not their property, so was anyone else interested?
Born in Ottawa.
Everyone see Brodie and thinks can it be that tough?

Can't wait for news that 2017 5th Round pick, Fedor Gordeev, has joined the Marlies on an ATO.

I remember being so high on him as a potential diamond in the rough. Haven't seen too many guys that big who could skate like him, but he never really developed any other facets to his game.
Pretty interesting day of prospect news.
Greb is gonna be in the mix. This could conceivably change off-season shopping plans a bit….in my eyes anyway.
Crappy day to work, ha.
