Good. Clearly wasn't ready.

 

[hotpaws]

never should have been called up

 

[ACC1224]

Never to be heard from again.

Wanted him up bad. He showed next to nothing. Not ready...may never be. For the limited minutes I'd like to get Garrett Wilson a look there on the 4th line. We roll the top 9 heavy. 4th line should just be strictly crash and bang imo

Even worse than Marchment. Agostino is the obvious choice.

 

[Leafs87]

That one did not work out at all. His skating is no where near NHL level

Probably right. Some guys can work around limited speed with good positioning and decision making but didn't see anything like that from him. How many guys can add a step after 24? Hopefully the next cup of coffee goes to Agostino

 

[Tall Morty]

Seemed a tad early, considering he had been injured

yup Agostino should have been the one to be called up if they wanted a gritty player

nice of Shanny to give his buddy's kid a shot but Marchment is not even close to being a 4th line player and the chance he'll ever develop into one at his age is extremely low , he's basically a mediocre career AHLer at best

 

[ShaneFalco]

Didn’t impress - too bad

 

[Big Muddy]

Some draft picks don't work out. Some (probably many) are about as good as similar prospects on the other teams.

 

[Leafidelity]

He's gonna need to find a way to translate his physical game in the AHL to the pros if he hopes to have a shot in the NHL.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Hopefully he learned alot...

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Bracco should play over a Gauthier. Whats up? Now i am thinking the next call-up should be Bracco or their are issues with something on a personal level with the team.

Hes as ready as he'll ever be. Not an NHL'er.

 

[Buds17]

Fared decently in limited action. Not surprising that he was sent down though. Injuries apparently managed to delay or put off tougher decisions.

 

[ULF_55]

Back to AHL school for him.

$70k isn't a horrible salary, probably gets a raise this year in the AHL, maybe gets to 6 digits.

Most people have to work, so if he loves hockey, he's doing something he loves.

 

[bonjovi0308]

Playing him over Timashov isnt right

 

[Mickey Marner]

Well, he had a cup of coffee to tell his kids about.

I agree, now I am not saying that I thinking fighting is that important now a days BUT

If I am MM, I am hitting everything in site every shift. Giving everyone a little face wash after the whistle, then going to sit on the bench for 10 minutes waiting for my next shift.

Didn't see any urgency. I see that in Timashov. Busts his butt every shift. Mason not so much.

Bracco right now is a mystery box for other teams...they don't know if his skills will translate to the NHL and the Leafs want to keep that mystique around him going. If they bring him up and he sucks then they lose any extra trade potential they had. Look at Marchment...I had been asking for him to come up for a year and he basically hit 1 guy in his 3 games and Timashov is usually more noticeable than that. So the mystery is over with him...so they want to keep it alive with Bracco because he is not going to be on our 23 Man roster next year because he can't be sent down.

 

[Its not your fault]

You would flip a waffle over something like that. He's scouting report hasn't changed. If they want Skating and big body's that's not Bracco's role.

This thread is worth a bump. It was approximately one month after this thread that the Leafs traded Marchment for Malgin and provides insights into Leafs fans opinions of Marchment's potential at the time.
