Dubas should have really listened during orientation about where things are kept

Dubas is too busy in LA with more important "things" to do;

that's what happened he left bobylov at the airport, just slipped his mind while he was practicing his JT speech

Dubas told Shanny and Babs to go ahead to Toronto without him. Shanny called and said we are losing prospects, we just lost Bobylev and thats how Dubas responds.

Aren't all these players just Marlies contracts and not technically Leafs property?

What's Martins Dzerkals doing on the list then?

What's Martins Dzerkals doing on the list then?

he was drafted by the leafs I guess

 

[7even]

Are we still considering Johnsson as a prospect or is he pretty much a full-time Leaf? If we consider him as taking a full time spot then I wouldn't include him on this list, and would give the #2 spot to Grundström. I'm not gonna vote yet. Can someone please advise.

Thanks.

Schenn uses Calder eligibility as the cutoff so for the purposes of this list he's still a prospect.

Accidentally voted Sandin, didn't see Johnsson as an option

Add Holloway

 

[Canada4Gold]

lmao @ Rosen getting 1 vote

Guess they just had to give another Swede a vote since it’s onky Swedes with votes so far

It's tough, but I went with johnnson. While I really really like both grundstom and engvall, (grundstrom will be an effective 2nd/3rd line tweener without a doubt) johnsson has shown, at least at the ahl level, the willingness to compete, the determination to be successful, the ability to use his skillset to drive a line, and most importantly the drive and desire to be the best player on the ice every shift. If he can translate those qualities to the NHL level... we have a gamer.

 

[Schenn]

What's Martins Dzerkals doing on the list then?

We drafted him in the mid rounds and has at least a bit of clout in the organization. Those other guys are for sure AHL fodder. Dzierkals is AHL fodder with mediocre pedigree.

Scott Wheeler says we have lost the rights to Vladimir Bobylev

I am not so sure about that. I am pretty sure if they go to the KHL before their NHL rights expire, you can claim them as defective, even if they were not drafted there initially.

eliteprospects.com still has him on the Leafs "In the System" page too. Does not have Mattinen or Middleton on there.

Andreas Johnsson

I still think by any metric AJ is a better prospect then Lilly right now. He is going to be playing full time in the NHL next year. Yes Lilly has a higher ceiling but right now AJ is clearly the better prospect and player

 

[Beaninfritz]

I would've voted for Johnsson, but apparently he's not on the list. Andreas' sister Andrea is though. I'm not sure how well she'd pan out as an NHL player, so I voted Bracco.

 

[AvroArrow]

Is AJ still considered a prospect here? I didn't even notice his name until after i voted

Johnsson ain't no prospect!
