Prospect Info: Marlies and Prospects Discussion - 2018/19 Edition III

[Kiwi]

He doesn't have hands that can dangle a puck like our high-end skilled guys but he has good hands, I think he needs 2 AHL seasons and he will be good to go

I don't care about dangling guys, I'm talking more about soft hands combined with the vision to make a pass

I just don't see that in him, I like his speed, puck protection and shot but I'm way less confident in his ability to get the puck to the skill guys on his line consistently which is the main thing I want with a 3rd wheel type on a scoring line

I hope I'm wrong however (wouldn't be the first time)

I guess we will have to wait and see, I don't mind him but I'm also not a big fan of his, I don't see him making the Leafs next season.
