I think Percy will look awesome playing Babcocks system. He is the kind of D-man that system is built for. Smart and solid, not flashy. Just gets the job done and then some.
I'm surprised by the number of people here who think Percy will be/should be moved.
I've always liked him and he's a homegrown player that's been developed properly. I see him as a stable top-4 d in the future and would be upset to see him moved right now.
brown deserves a shot, like now
I feel the exact same way... I don't think most of those comments are coming from people who actually follow the marlies. In this type of rebuild, no one is untouchable, but ffs , Percy is being thrown around like some kind of bust. I watched him since Mississauga and he's come along fine. Just not a flashy player. It's not his style.
Lou Lam working the system
I'm worried that the Marlies are going to take a step back because their core is going to all get called up.

The issue isn't that he's a bust. If he was a bust, he wouldn't get back any value in a trade. The issue is that he's not top end defensive talent, and the bottom of our blue line is already crowded. Out of all the Marlies competing for a spot there, he's the most likely to get a good return.
They missed most of their core players due to injuries, call ups and the WJC's for a big part of the season. They will be fine to a certain degree. They probably won't be as 'hot' as they've been but they should at least be consistent.
Much like Corrado or Granberg he would get cliamed. This is his shot now! If Leaf brass think others have passed him, we should get something. He may not be in our top 4, ever. We have Reilly,Gardiner,possibly Chychrun(top 4 pick?),Corrado,Harrington,Loov,Valiev and soon Dermott.It depends on how they see him fitting in. If he is a borderline top 6 who may get sent down, you trade him rather than lose him to waivers.
WTH is with your bloody obsession with top 4?
all teams have to carry a 5/6 and 7th D
if the bolded still have waiver ability, then they can wait
