Excellent .. Big year for Connor coming up

Woohoo! Lou is getting some work done. Hopefully we can re-sign Marincin too! He had a strong second half.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Nice!

Will be interesting to see who gets the last expansion protection slot. 2 year deal suggests Marincin might get it, needing someone to complete the experience requirements in Carrick. But they could also extend Marincin for 2 years as well.

 

[FlareKnight]

Excellent.

Will be a big chance for him this season. Nice to have that done.

 

[Quares27]

nice nice

 

[IBeL34f]

Awesome. I've really enjoyed his game so far, scrappy and involved.

Lou must be back in the office this week after his summer vacation as things appear to be getting done.

Actually i see him quite a bit. I work at York St and you can always catch Lou around lunchtime at Fit for Life sandwich bar.

That's what I was thinking .. Seems like he took some time off after the UFA period once he signed the guys he wanted. Now he's back settling up some issues.

Wonder we'll see some trades to clarify the roster, or if at this point it's something that will be address around camp in September

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Great news. I hope he makes the team permanently this season. He looked like an NHL player both for the Leafs and the Marlies last season.

 

[Babcocks Marner]

Love me some CC, both in drink, and on ice

 

[ACC1224]

Not surprised, he's going to be a good player here.

 

[Liminality]

Anyone else get Ian White vibes from Carrick?

Feisty small defender. Think Connor is more offensively inclined but they both seem like heart and soul guys.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Playoffs leading scorer

He'll make the big club for sure!

 

[Mess]

Carrick's 18 points in 15 games lead the Marlies in playoff scoring and was there best player.

The bringing back of Polak for toughness seems to be his biggest road block now on the roster for that #3rd pairing RD spot along with battling Frankie C.

I would always be tempted to be like. "you know, you remind me of someone... "

yah like. a little two week vacation more or less, get some arbitration stuff in, take another week off after that's done,maybe get Vesey, and the goalie and then it's go time.

(and my defenseman lou. don't forget my defenseman).

 

[Bullseye]

Have we some very good Connors in the system now. Congrats.

This is the guy that is going to get Gardiner traded.

Gardiner is just coming into his prime now. He is thriving under Babcock.

 

[Morgs]

This is the guy that is going to get Gardiner traded.

Yes, because they both play LD.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Now we're talking!

 

[LeafsMonster]

He was an excellent addition last year, one of my favourites. Glad to hear this.

 

[Mr Hockey*]

Yes, because they both play LD.

He will take away the second pairing opportunity and any PP from Gardiner. He makes the dman lineup more flexible for Babcock and that will push Gardiner out... i'm just saying

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Really like this guy. IMO he's better than Corrado by quite a bit.
