Could he crack the roster this year?
ahh. Well he didn't dominate in the OHL so I really don't see him beating out Holland for 3rd line center. Kid won't be in the NHL for another 2yrs.
In short he is not the answer to our C problems this season. I'd say he needs 2 more seasons.
I'd rather keep him down for longer to try and develop his offensive skills.
It's not like we desperately need him up at the moment.

I dont really understand eveyone saying a player can be ruined.
Ive played at various levels of hockey and i always found that good players find a way to up their skill to compete with whatever talent level they are playing in.
So playing him with the best possible line mates with the best coaches and trainers isnt as good as playing against inferior talent?
Good player hack it and stay.
If he deserves a spot he should get one.
Im sick of the he has to earn it blah blah dont burn a contract yr and such
There's absolutely no reason why he shouldn't be on the leafs roster next season. He's physically and defensively NHL ready. Leaving him in the Q and A won't spark on offensive side.
Fourth Line: Ashton Gauthier Carrick
Ashton and Carrick 8 minutes a night will? There is absolutely no reason to have him in the NHL right now. None. Carrick is a center, Mckegg is a center, Holland is a center.
Could he crack the roster this year?
Here are the lines I have penciled if we went in with the forward group we have TODAY.
Kessel-Bozak-JVR
Nylander-Kadri-Lupul
Clarkson-Gauthier-Frattin
Komarov-Holland-Orr/Mclaren/Broll/Devane
I think Gauthier will play this season, and so will William
