look at our LHD depth.
Nielsen
Dermott
Rosen
Bergman
Valiev
only one of Dermott, rosen or bergman max can take a NHL spot so that is 4 better LHD than desrocher right there and if we get a UFA like hunwick then one of the aforementioned 3 are now included and its 5 LHD dmen for 3 spots on the marlies. Then we have Holl on RHD, Campbell was captain they could resign him again (I think he is a UFA). he would be ECHL/AHL tweener at best
Leafs at Knight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Once again, and this be stickied or something, Valiev is purely a RD. He does shoot left, but you might as well consider him shooting right, because he does not play LD. Hasn't for a while now apparently. So it's Nielsen and two of the other three. Desrocher would fit perfectly as the 4th as a 7D. I really liked him as a player, and I hope that somehow we can get him back if he does not get an NHL deal from Columbus or elsewhere.

More LHD depth I guess. A lot of this is the Marlies scouting down the line for AHL deals. A bunch of CHLers got their AHL deals from us like that.
Also a good way of judging how our guys stack up against good guys who were tossed aside. Rare that these camp fillers get ELC's out of it, but Moore did last year. Donaghey did two years ago. Maybe 3 for 3? Korostelev would be my bet. Or Keating if his skating improves. The rest would probably find themselves at the bottom of our pool and as ECHL development chips once they get to that point.

I could see Desrocher having to work his way onto the Marlies via Orlando, like Brouillard. I would like Korostelev on an AHL contract and see how that works out.

Camp is taking place July 7th, Hunter mentioned it in an interview, but no actual report of it I believe.
Was looking for a thread regarding this and didn't find one either haha

Koro is the only name i recognize. Are we looking at a lot of undrafted players looking for AHL contracts?
ok chill man, you havent told me this before so its not like im ignoring you. The marlies have been short RHD for years so he was chosen to go the RH side thats fine,
Desrocher is gone man he is likely a nothing player anyway and if he is oh well we missed a low end dman
What was it you liked about him as a player? I was really high on him at the position we drafted him at and then saw a guy during multiple games vs . the IceDogs who not very impressive at all.
I'm not surprised he was not offered anything.

I did not mean to sound annoyed with you. Sorry about that.
It was more of a generalized statement. Valiev being a RD needs to be stickied, because I guess not many people watch the Marlies or they assume that LHD=LD, even though guys like Jordan Leopold always played on the RD despite being LHD.

From the times I watched him, he seemed like a really strong shut down defenseman, but with the type of puck moving/offensive qualities that could be good enough for the NHL some day. Good leader too, considering how far he got Kingston compared to their quality of team.
I saw things that would make him worth at least an AHL deal, and potentially more if he impressed with the Marlies. Also, with the Marlies not having a ton of good defensive depth, having someone like Desrocher there would probably help a lot. At the very least, I saw him as someone who could operate like Andrew Campbell, if he never made the NHL full time, which in itself is quite valuable.
