Engvall played his way into one, for sure. I'm really excited to see what he can do as one of the Marlies' go-to guys next year.

Still no news about Middleton, Mattinen and Vesey.

 

[Schenn]

Marlies wont be losing any of their European flavour even with Johnsson and Kapanen moving up full time.

 

[MattySnipes]

Nice signings. Like Engvall the most! Hope Ozhiganov can translate what he did last year instead of this year over to Toronto.

Engvall and Lindgren will be fun to watch.

CJ just said that there's belief Par Lindholm can fill our 4C spot next season.

Igor Ozhiganov is easily the most mysterious of the four in terms of what he can bring.

 

[PuckMagi]

Good stuff I guess.

 

[Leafidelity]

Nice bit of depth added to the prospect pool today, couple of these guys could surprise

Props to the guy that linked Ozhi to the Leafs last summer

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Still no news about Middleton, Mattinen and Vesey.

Vesey can kick rocks after his brother didn’t sign.

Vesey can kick rocks after his brother didn’t sign.

Send his dad packing too.

 

[SprDaVE]

Vesey can kick rocks after his brother didn’t sign.

He's not a very good prospect anyway. I was just giving news that it probably is not a good sign if someone was hoping to sign him.

 

[MattySnipes]

Still no news about Middleton, Mattinen and Vesey.

Yeah, still no news. Should become more clearer in the coming week or two. Big, stay at home d-man. He put up some decent offense this year, how was his defensive game?

 

[Nineteen67]

I guess it’s ok but I’d rather they fill the Marlies with junior players ready to step up and play.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

He's not a very good prospect anyway. I was just giving news that it probably is not a good sign if someone was hoping to sign him.

I know I know. More of a joke surrounding the clear motivation for having taken him in the first place.

He's very meh all around.

And if we don't sign him by June 1st we lose his exclusive rights. Dubas might give him an AHL contract like he did with Piccinich, if he doesn't get interest from other teams.

hm..i can't see them letting him go just like that. I think AHL contract could be nice for sure. They've spent a lot of resources on developing and watching him over the years. Robidas and Pellerin are constantly watching him and giving him tips and advice. He's really improved his skating working with the Leafs and Barb Underhill and wants to continually get better. The Spirit say they really like his attitude both on the ice and off of it. He's still a ways away, but hope the Leafs don't let him back into the draft.

 

[Warden of the North]

Really excited aboit Engvall. I see him as a JvR type. He brings the size we lack. I hope he can put it togeather in the NHL

 

[MyBudJT]

I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 of these guys in our NHL lineup in 2019/2020.

 

[fahad203]

I like how the management probabaly had this pre-signed if you will

Dubas gets to start off the Leafs career in the right way. Leafs brass has set up him for a quick and easy win. Sign 4 players that should have been signed last month.

I am excited for these new faces. Some may pan out in AHL / NHL level, some may not.

 

[Liminality]

Really excited aboit Engvall. I see him as a JvR type. He brings the size we lack. I hope he can put it togeather in the NHL

Same here, it seems like he's progressed really well since being drafted. Would love to have a 7th rounder to turn into a valuable asset.

 

[taurine330]

Hello Igor. Saw him play last season. Happy about this signing.

 

[67Cup]

I’m a little surprised they didn’t wait one more year for Lindgren. But signing Engvall is a no brainer considering his play on the Marlies. I look forward to seeing the two new Euro signings.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Engvall absolutely earned this. Congrats to him. Hopefully the other players can also be good
