Prospect Info: 2021 Leafs Board Prospect Rankings #2

[Morgs]

2 votes Kral, 2 votes SDA, one vote for nobody. If it ends up being a tie, tie goes to Morgs. Not like these guys being added are going to be voted in immediately. I'd be surprised if either make the top-10.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Amirov for me

 

[Magic Man]

Voted Robertson.

Add Gogolev.

 

[StevenB]

Hard to gauge the top 4 but had to vote Liljegren here. Filip Kral needs to be added next

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I vote for SDA to be added next.

 

[sIDEsHOW93]

Went with Robertson with Amirov very close behind.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Sandin
Robertson
Lil
Amirov

All 4 very close in my opinion and really just personal preference. Would have no issue even if someone had my list completely reversed. That's how close they are, again, IMO.

 

[Mess]

[Peasy]

How is Amirov gunna end up 4th lol...

Top 3 will all be players that play in NA. Really feels like the majority here have not paid attention to Amirov at all.

Really don't understand the Liljegren hype. He probably maxes out as a number 3/4 dude. Hes comin into his D+5 and still might not even make the roster...

 

[Twine Tickler]

Its Lilly for me. I think this kid is just as dynamic as Rasmus to be honest. He is such a smart player, and has such a strong economy of motion. Just looks effortless for Timmy. At least at the AHL level.

the thing to worry about Timmy, as backed by comments from Sheldon Keefe, is that Timmy takes time to adjust to new surroundings. I really hope they give him the vote of confidence at camp and tell him he has a real shot at being a regular this year. He'll still have to earn it, but he needs to feel comfortable to get the best version of Timmy. Give him the camp to find his wings at the NHL level, so that he goes into the season ready mentally. We have given Dermott every opportunity to learn on the job, its time we give that same luxury to Timmy.

For the Timmy nay-sayers, I promise you he will shock you. He is closer to Sandin in terms of talent than most think, and he makes far less mistakes. The sky really is the limit for Timmy IMO

 

[CupcakeSprinkles]

I almost voted for Liljegren, but went with Robertson.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Tell me this kid is not going to be a stud... f***ing guy walks the blue batter than anyone on the Leafs for f*** sakes lol

If our second best prospect ends up being a #3 D I am totally fine with that. He is shaping up to be one of our most complete D prospects and right handed. There's nothing wrong with letting players bake in the minors. This year will be a key year for the fan base to evaluation him.

I think people miss the Liljegren came over as a 18-19 year old in the AHL we utilized 2 years to slide his ELC plus we burned 2 years of his ELC making this the final year. He will have 5 years of development on a 3 year ELC.

I voted Robertson.. Liljegren will be my next pick then Amirov who needs to show more consistency

 

[Morgs]

Funny how the guys talking shit about Liljegren in these threads don't show up in the Marlies thread.

You do realize he's 2 years older than Caufield and even though he was a freshman, he was a D+3 at the time?

 

[Morgs]

Voted Robertson.

Add Gogolev.

Completely forgot Gogolev is actually a "prospect" because of the ELC. I'll add him to the "next" section for sure (but he's in 3rd place this voting session).

 

[Prominence]

Funny how the guys talking shit about Liljegren in these threads don't show up in the Marlies thread.

Wth, some of them do. We also get the anti-dubas guys who try to start s***.

Anti-Dubas guys going after Hunter's last 1st rounder

 

[Mess]

Yup

However Liljegren and Abruzzese are the same age 22, so when ranking Leafs prospects its fair game.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

You do realize he's 2 years older than Caufield and even though he was a freshman, he was a D+3 at the time?

it also seems weird to compare Abruzzese to a guy who looks to shoot first and ended up with more goals than assists

For me I get how good he has been in the AHL but he’s number 4 behind the big 3 on our list. If he doesn’t show anything this year I think we might have to accept the fact he’s a bottom pairing guy and not the top prospect we hope he can be.

 

[tmlfan98]

Add SDA

 

[Joey Hoser]

I went Robertson, but could go either way with him or Liljegren.

Robertson the higher ceiling as a goal scorer, but if Liljegren can be even a modest upgrade on Holl, then that makes our top 4 better, and our bottom pair MUCH better, which is kind of a big deal for the team in general.

Didn't Amirov start last season near ppg and then after the draft really had a major dip in production? Also, his WJC performance wasn't impressive, like not at all. I like his speed, skill, and shot ... but he's gotta produce before I put him ahead of the other 3 guys

Much like the Marlies games I doubt his detractors will take the time to watch this video. He's #1 for me with Robertson a close #2 and Sandin a similarly close #3
