Prospect Info: Prospect and Marlies Thread: 2017 - 2018 (continued) Part II

[saltming]

huge chance this year couldn't pull it off though. Nylander "only" got 49 even strength points this season, and Matthews himself got exactly 50. Hyman really needs those 2 to step up their games for him to get 10 more points

Ya they are really holding him back.
Really though I'm counting on him getting some regular pp time at some point in his career

 

[horner]

Really excited to see Grunstrom play.
I would think he would be in the marlies lineup this wknd.

 

[FreeBird]

Any word on Middelton or Gordeev if their practising with the Marlies, if so would like to see them get a game this weekend.

My guess is that he gets 2 games. My prediction is he plays friday night and sunday.

I also hope that Ian Scott gets in a game. They'll likely have Sparks & Pickard play friday and saturday. Why not have Scott play the final game of the season?

Gordeev is there.

Clearly all that matters. First game he's ever played for the Marlies... If you go according to Crocker and ignore the 6 games he played in last years' playoffs

 

[Magic Man]

Aaltonen botched a couple nice plays wide in the first period. The Marlies seemed to dominate territorially, but it hasn't shown on the stat sheet so far.

Grundstrom and Engvall are looking good.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Grundy!!!!

 

[ToMaLe]

Jesus Bob McGill is long winded...

 

[Stand Witness]

Every once and a while I'll watch a player on the ice and just think "this guy is gonna be a NHL player". I don't know exactly what it is (I think skating/positioning/confidence/etc.. maybe?) but when I watch Grundstrom I have this feeling.

What's 6 games between friends?...

Jesus Bob McGill is long winded...

Another fellow and I were talking about this last week...He goes on and on about what we just saw happening....I like the guy but he has to learn to stop talking while the play is going on...

Yep..I agree...he seems to have that "it" factor...hard worker, not scared to get his nose dirty, seems to have a good mind for the game...Good skills especially his shot....His skating seems fine but if I had to pick one thing for him to improve it would be his speed.

 

[AppsSyl]

4-0 Marlies. Liljegren robbed of an assist on the 3rd goal. Mueller with 2 goals.

He got it right in the 2nd period so I'll let him live it down

I’m not watching the game, but I have seen numerous posts over the course of this season where liljegren has been robbed of a point how does a kid get so unlucky with points

Grundstrom is our komarov replacement. As long as babs doesn’t get cold feet and pine for komarov to be resigned. I think babcock really like grundstrom at last camp he is going to be a babcock type player imo

I agree, with Grundstrom able to consistently produce similar to Komarov's production in the 2015-2016 season though.

No idea, I am watching the game. He tipped the puck by the Laval player at the line to Smith, and Smith fed Mueller who scored. He should have got a point.

I think Komarov gets re-signed, but is not guaranteed a spot. 8 of the 9 top 9 spots are pretty much sealed for next year. Just need to decide whether Leivo or Johnsson are the guys to replace JvR for the last spot. 4th line is what is up for grabs, and will change depending upon whether they decide to trade guys like Leivo, Gauthier and Martin this offseason. If Martin is gone, Komarov will probably be re-signed.

Hopefully Hyman is our komarov replacement and Grundstrom is our Hyman replacement

 

[Walshy7]

Hopefully Hyman is our komarov replacement and Grundstrom is our Hyman replacement

Well that’s crazy talk, if babcock is here hyman is with Matthews. I’ve come to accept this it’s all you can do now. Maybe if babcock runs out of contract or fired a new coach may put Hyman where he belongs. But with babcock here Hyman will stay
