This should help:

• Rees had 10 goals last season in 37 games, on 107 shots on goal (9.3%)
• Rees has 10 goals this season in 11 games, on 36 shots on goal (27.8%)

Make sure Leaf's fans know this new math as well.

Robertson shot 14.5% last year
Robertson is shooting 24.1% this year.

Perfect data for when over the summer we’re arguing about how many pts he’s going to score for us as one of our top two centers.

I don't know much about Rees, but would McGinn be a good comparable?

McGinn was 5'11, 175lbs at draft time, Rees is 5'10", 171 lbs. McGinn was viewed as a guy with an edge to his game, that showed some improved offensive flair post draft. Rees is also viewed as a guy with an edge to his game. McGinn had 12G in 33 games prior to draft. Rees had 10G in 37 games prior to draft. McGinn improved the year after his draft but scored a ton the 2nd year post draft.

Thanks for killing all our excitement and optimism about Rees by comparing him to Brock ****ing McGinn!

Well he seems to be a more mobile skater with a bit more dangle with him, higher skill but I can see it. Brock was supposed to be the most talented McGinn, but obviously the offense stalled. I think if we start with that as the expectation level we’ll be in a good place.

Somewhere between Marchand and McGinn

 

[My Special Purpose]

Somewhere between Marchand and McGinn

Well, it's important to note that both of these are possible, as is Phil DiGuiseppe. But Rees has more of everthing than McGinn. More skill, more speed, more of an edge, better shot, better vision, less discipline, etc., so I think McGinn is a bit of a floor -- well, maybe Foegele is a floor -- for Rees.

If it means he's a future game 7 overtime winning goal scorer then it is a great pick.

Somewhere between Marchand and McGinn

Too narrow of a prediction. More like somewhere between Sidney Crosby and Tim Conboy.

Rees will settle in somewhere between Wayne Gretzky and Lyle Wildgoose

Guy had his priorities way out of whack. He could’ve been the next gretzky but we’ll never know cause he wanted to start a family. Bippity boppity Mike get with the program

Like Roddy said it's going to be difficult for any young guy to show what they've got in just 8 practices in order to make the team but I view Rees as one of our few junior prospects who could potentially make the team/taxi squad along with Jarvis. I think they'll keep one or two of these highly skilled CHL players who aren't eligible for the AHL as long as the CHL remains on hiatus.

Agreed, probably do a 22 man roster and keep 7D on the main roster, 13 forwards, and the 2 goalies, then do 1 D, 4 Fs (2 vets and then Jarvis and Rees until their CHL seasons start), and Ned on the Taxi Squad. Possible that we do a full 23 man roster and have 8 D there, but I'd say 7 is more likely.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Glad to get him signed.

I'll be curious to see how the taxi squad gets put together. It makes sense to use a couple spots on Jarvis, Suzuki, or Rees while the OHL/WHL are still out of commission, get them some experience practicing with the big boys and such.

Ned is an interesting case being on a 1-way, he could just be put on the 23-man from the beginning with the 3 goalie requirement. Being waiver-eligible he might be a goalie injury away from being on the 23 for the full year anyway, so that's an option to open up another taxi spot. But unless someone gets moved before the season started the 13F/7D are probably better uses of little remaining cap space.

 

[geehaad]

Will teams have to officially waive players to put them on the taxi squad?

 

[DaveG]

Will teams have to officially waive players to put them on the taxi squad?

Only in cases where the normal waiver rules would apply. So for example Bean? No waivers. Ryan or Forsling? They'd have to clear like they were going to the A
