Carcone is the same age as Andreas Johnsson when he put up 47 points in 75 AHL games. And a year younger than Hyman when he put up 37 points in 59 games. And the same age as Trevor Moore when he put up 33 points in 68 games.
I'd say writing him off due to his production is a tad premature.
Instead he sweetened the pot on the forward.I imagine he offered 2 packages.
1st +Durzi and Grund
Or 2nd +Lil and Grund.
So he did pick Durzi over lilj
Even if he is sort of a player, I wonder why we want another 5'10" forward in the system. Outside of our smaller forwards like Marner, Nylander, Johnsson, Ennis, we also have Bracco, Timashov, Moore, Brooks and Carcone. Even Sam Gagner on loan from Vancouver is small.
Lucky we've got a few Growlers who are due for a promotion that aren't exactly small and all scoring around PPG: Estephan 6', Pooley 6'2, Ferguson 6', Elyniuk 6'5",
This is terrible news. I think the Leafs/Marlies will get a LW AHL player in the next couple weeks.

I could see us being a bit more active in the European/NCAA/CHL OA market this off-season. Our prospect system is still fine quality-wise in my opinion, but we could use more options. I really like Felhaber out of Ottawa.
Anyone think Engvall could get a sniff of 4th line?
I was hoping that Engvall and Marchment would be ready to be anchors of the fourth line along with the Goat stepping up, it just hasn't happened.
Leafs don't need a prospect pool loaded with stars. They already have the best young core in the NHL. They just need good depth pieces

He is still a year younger than Dermott was as an AHL rookie.
Take that in for a moment when you consider writing him off because of an injury.
We have some real mindless idiots on these boards.
yep, really the only area of concern is health. his talent is still really really impressiveit's funny because Lilly is ahead of kappy and Dermott and on track with Willy at this point.
Rosen will be an NHLer next year, maybe even sooner
Muzzin - Rielly
Dermott - Gardiner
Rosen - Hainsey
i'm in.
Yeah, Gardiner is not going to be a RD. He'll get dealt before that happens.
After the Muzzin trade, the Leafs organization is starting to feel a little emptied out. The D still has some great depth in development, but the forward depth and forwards in the pipeline isn't too great, particularly at center. With no first rounder in 2019, it doesn't look like we'll be getting another crack at a potential blue chipper for another year and a half. With a cap crunch looming, we won't be adding more expensive talent on the free agent market either.
The thing that's really hurt us have been the Boyle and Plekanec trades, coupled with getting nothing for Komarov, Bozak and JVR, whom didn't really help with the playoff experience department. That's probably a swing of about at least 4 extra quality prospects in the pipeline who could have helped get Pietrangelo or pushed guys like Brown out of a job.
Really going to need European and college free agents to fill the gap.
