Could it mean Brennan will be given a shot in the NHL?

Good he was terrible.

 

[SprDaVE]

Makes sense. Marlies could use him right now instead of him staying the press box. We only have 6D on the roster though.

TJ Brennan show yourself

 

[Joey Hoser]

I think they want Brennan helping the Marlies. They might not want to expose him to waivers.

He hasn't cleared that yet?

He hasn't cleared that yet?

He would have to if/when they tried to send him back down. I'm pretty sure anyway.

The Marlies aren't even in the playoffs. What exactly are these guys being brought in to "help"

They're 5 points out, largely because of a thin back end and terrible power play. Getting Brennan back fixes much of their problems.

Help usually refers to someone or a situation that's underperformed.

would be nice to see a playoff push down there.

they should also send kozun back down to help.

They need Kozun up now. Smith is still injured and they have no one else. Frattin has been on fire for the Marlies too.

Keep the younger players there to push for the playoff spot. Kozun is fine with the Leafs for now.

 

[zeke]

Leipsic - Nylander - Brown
Leivo - McKegg - Frattin
Froese - Carrick - Kozun
Rupert - Biggs - Bodie

Loov - Brennan
Percy - Granberg
Finn/MacW - Mikkleson/Knodel

Gibson
Bibeau


should be good enough to make a push.

Actual lineups fyi.

Leipsic Carrick Froese (Kozun's spot)
Nylander Rupert Brown
Leivo McKegg Frattin
Devane Biggs Bodie

Loov Mikkelson

Granberg probably slides in for Knodel. Brennan, not sure.

Sadly they seem content on keeping Rupert between Brown and Nylander.

I hated it at first too, but they've actually been playing well together. Considering the marlies have lacked any real form of chemistry in the forwards, don't mess with a good thing.

 

[zeke]

rupert's been legit good. and if we remember, after trying to play through an injury early on, he finally took time off, then ripped it up the rest of the way.

rupert is showing some legit nhl 3rd line upside, not just 4th line stuff.

 

[Joey Hoser]

Rupert's season is mirroring Carrick's from last year.

 

[mikebel111*]

Man people really need some patience or actually watch Rupert and the Marlies
I love how people are assuming Rupert is a plug and shouldnt be with Nylander and Brown. That line has been amazing and Rupert I may argue is our first line C and it should stay that way
Granberg should be with the Marlies and help them out
Adding Brennan was huge, and once Finn returns, it will be even better

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

I'm interested to see what Matt Rupert does when I assume he plays for the Marlies next year.

 

[Stephen]

Granberg has been a little overhyped. Hoping we don't lose Korbinian Holzer cause it may be half a dozen years before Granberg is developed like Holzer to be a useful player.
