Prospect Info: 2014/15 Marlies/Prospects Thread V.6 - Now with more Leipsic

[Bullseye]

Byron Froese.

The guy is a player now. What's his future with our organization?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Nylander really turning up his game (points wise) a lot recently!
Heard he's been playing hard and well all year tho so thats great

Also didn't he get an assist on the first goal? So that would give him two apples tonight?

Don't think so. Froese unassisted.

I cant believe someone said Conner's production would fall off a cliff. Hasnt happened yet.
Our kid combo is looking good

"someone".

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

4 points (all assists) in the last 4 games for Nylander.

What a bust.

 

[The_Chosen_One]

Ehhh.. Shanny and co. will take it slow with these prospects, but IMO, Loov's a dark horse candidate for me to make the Leafs next year. He's been improving at a very good rate over the past few years

Would it even be a good idea to have Leivo and the rest play next season? Personally, I think Brown is the only Marlie who should be given a try next season. Everyone else lacks on the production front. Let them dominate the AHL first and then move onto the NHL afterwards.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Nylander man you just gotta shoot.

 

[91Kadri91*]

Leipsic showed incredible speed and skill there.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Nylander snipeeeeeeee

 

[Cor]

Nylander scoring at a .70 PPG pace.

He's 18 years old.

18 year olds rarely play in the AHL, let alone perform as good as he is.

I've been the biggest pusher and supporter of Nylander, but he's starting to even surprise me

 

[Bullseye]

Froese 24 pts +16 in 29 GP.

Is he our property or not - anyone know?

 

[Gallagbi]

Froese 24 pts +16 in 29 GP.

Is he our property or not - anyone know?

He's on an AHL contract, so no.

 

[Jyrki Lumme]

Froese 24 pts +16 in 29 GP.

Is he our property or not - anyone know?

No. I'm thinking we'll offer him an NHL contract this summer though.

12 points in his last 14, almost ppg since the initial few games of adjustment. I think it's likely he's a ppg+ player going forward.

He has this insane ability to sneak up behind people and steal pucks its ridiculous how he does it so often he's like a ninja

Datsyuk like?

Eventually, the Leafs have to draft someone that impresses, maybe Nylander is the first this century?

 

[Bullseye]

It is a refreshing change to hear positive talk about an MLSE team. The Leafs are really depressing.

Nylander is looking more good. Do you think it's wise to insert him into a really messed up NHL line-up next season?

Doesn't that depend on how many of the existing bad eggs they still have on the roster?

Maybe they sign a couple character players to replace the current top 6?

Forgot we drafted Reilly in 2012? lol

He could probably hold his own, I would keep him away from the gong-show for now. It has nothing to do with talent level or performance more that I wouldn't want him picking up bad habits from our players

 

[ULF_55]

No I'm not forgetting Rielly. He's not that impressive yet.

If Nylander is really impressive he'd be one of the best, not in his draft class, but in the NHL.

Comparison to draft class is irrelevant once you're drafted, because then your peer group is everyone in the NHL.

Does anyone compare Datysyuk to his draft class? Nope. They compare him to everyone in the NHL. That's what makes him impressive, not how he compares to others drafted in 1998.

Outside of the ROTY there's no award for best in draft class.

ROTY can span multiple draft classes though...

Datsyuk didn't do much till he was late 20s

The gamebreaking skill Nylander displays at 18 is grounds to be excited for the kid, especially with the skating, IQ and gonads to pull off the things he thinks up he's going to be an electrifying forward. I just feel his talent is better suited at the center of the ice especially where he can use his puck stealing and back cheking abilities combined with his speed and intelligence

 

[Giuseppe Sallo]

This draft is HUGE for us. We gotta got an ace. Nylander/Rielly looking good, along with some B prospects
prospects.

The more I see Leipsic, I'm impressed. Just everything you want out of a player.

I've noticed the same thing, it's great. His defensive games gets overlooked sometimes imo

Boston Bruins Swedish pick at 25 in the same draft recorded 27 points in something like 24 ahl games before being called up to the nhl... For the same reason you've pointed out, I'm wondering why were not hearing a lot more talk of him.

 

[Einzakin]

Going to throw this out there - McDavid has gone 2 games without a point this year, both times against Niagara. Which centre was he matching up against - Verhaeghe! ... Im going with it because the guy does seem like he could be a good two-way centre.

Who needs McDavid when we have Verhaeghe
