Marlies insurance if/when Rosen gets called up, no?

He had a really impressive training camp and then went back to junior and led the OHL in D scoring. I think Dubas just likes him.

Hollowell, 20, currently leads all Ontario Hockey League defencemen in goals (23) and points (72) with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

Hollowell was selected by the Maple Leafs in the fourth round (118th overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft.

Has a chance to be a player.

He's an overager, but could be NHL ready by 2021.

SSM SHOULD have a decent playoff run, so I doubt we'll see Hollowell at all.

Are CHL players eligible for AHL playoffs once their seasons are done? If so, maybe he gets into playoff action if SSM doesn't go too deep.

 

[phillipmike]

But but he isnt a real prospect, Dubas only takes his SSM guys.

They are, but I don't see him cracking the Marlies' lineup, injuries nothwithstanding.

I don't know about that. I'd say they are bound to get bounced in the 2nd round.

Leading the CHL in scoring for D, not just OHL. He's had one heck of a season.

he is 27 in his prime beating up 5 year olds who are just learning to skate. Apparently

 

[MyBudJT]

Really happy by this news. Could be the 'next' Jared Spurgeon.

 

[Warden of the North]

Shoots right, average size

Curious what he weighs in at camp next year

 

[Mckay]

Love how any move can be spun as negative by some.

I don't mind people pumping the kids tyres, he's had a great year but having doubts about him are fair Walshy

He's an overager, from what I understand he's a rover who leads the rush rather than play like your usual pro defensive type and I've heard he's a bit "exciting" in his own zone

I don't care about size but those other things make me more willing to withhold judgement until he gets into the pros and we see how his game translates

 

[rdogg]

I'm looking forward to see what he can do in the AHL. The guy is absolutely tearing up the O

5'10 and 77kg seems like he's on the small side if your looking at NHL defenseman and size rather than average

 

[Peasy]

He reminds me of a better skating Krug tbh.

 

[jrgtml67]

Hes beast mode this year. This is the guy that moved ahead of Durzi in out depth chart. He 32 more points the seymon drAchinsev (I know wrong spelling). Hes also 20 so I believe we may see him recalled after his season is over. Maybe I big hit in a late round.

Dunno if you noticed our 4th line with Petan on it. We go for skill over size.

Yay, organizational depth.

Ya youre probably right. I would bet that weight might not be exactlty right though.

Yeah, and did you watch Babcock's presser after the game?

Undersized guys can make it but let's not pretend it's easy for a guy that size to defend at the NHL level, that's why we can name the likes of Krug off the top of our heads

There's not that many good ones at the NHL level
