Well, it's interesting. Don't know if this is best for him but lets find out. Even if he goes down to the Marlies it's probably better for him than what Modo is right now I guess.

 

[SprDaVE]

I had a feeling they would recall him from loan when Modo fired their coach and looked really bad recently.

 

[Raging Bull]

Wonder if he'll join the Leafs right away or be assigned to the Marlies.

I think he is NHL or MODO, not eligible for AHL iirc.

He should be able to play in the AHL, only being drafted out of the CHL has the rule where you have to be 20.

I'm not sure why they revoked the loan agreement to be honest. Leafs are banged up right now but Holland is close to returning I think and we have a few Marlies players for depth. Only thing I can see is that they weren't happy with what was happening with Modo being last in the league and what not.

Nylander could very well play for the Marlies. We'll see.

Thank you! I didn't know that!

 

[Warden of the North]

Modo is more messed up then the Leafs. Not surprising they got him out. Probably goes to the Marlies

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Strange decision imo. Nylander was doing really well in the SHL and staying there for a couple more months would not have hurt his development. Perhaps they want to bring him over to evaluate exactly how well his set of skills translates to the NHL on this team. Might impact other decisions regarding other skill players?

 

[Raging Bull]

Nylander has moved around quite a bit the last two years, never really sticking with one team for too long. Hopefully he gets settled in here and that's that.

Anyone know the last 18 year old forward to suit up for Toronto?

 

[Appleyard]

Nylander was doing very well for MODO... however MODO are a mess and have been for well over a year.

Anders Forsberg had been awful as a coach for them since day one and is seemingly a big part of why they lost several players at the end of last year who would have really helped them this season... he already looked like he had lost the team at the end of last season and IMO should have been fired then.

I imagine management want to test Nylander in the AHL (where he will excel) and give him more exposure to the North American game before putting him in the lineup for the Leafs to start next year... with possibly a few games at the end of this season for the Leafs.

 

[Yosho]

Woah. That's bold, especially mid-season.

 

[Atomos2]

Holy crap! Didn't see this coming. Zeke is going to be overjoyed.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Hope he can transition well once he gets here. NHL or AHL.

from what i understand, MoDO is like the buffalo sabres of the SHL, so maybe its not a bad move to get him out of there. mwe will see whT horachek or the marlies can do with him!

MoDo has been a powerhouse in the way of getting young guys to the NHL. They're the most talented club in producing high quality young players.

The worst part about producing great players, is that they leave for the NHL.

MoDo used to be a contender in the SHL nevertheless, but they got a couple of rough years behind them.

MoDo plays in Örnsköldsvik. A city with 29000 people. This little city is the hometown of: Peter Forsberg, 2x Sedin, Markus Näslund, Anders Hedberg, Niklas Sundström, Victor Hedman.

Calling them the Sabres of the SHL is wrong in my opinion. I see the sabres as a weak orginasation being misshandled. While I see MoDo as a former powerhouse being misshandled, maybe more like the Oilers.

 

[thewave]

Cut your teeth Nylander! NHL I am thinking. He deserves it tbh.

 

[crump]

Looks like there was a deadline, so the Leafs are hedging bets they will need him for some reason before this season is over. Replace a traded player at the NHL deadline or just have him available for a call up.

You could also add a lot of other good players who is not from Ö-vik but who moved there as youngsters and developed into solid players. Like Påhlsson, A Eriksson (D) and Svartvadet.

And you left out Tobias Enström.

 

[Peasy]

Cant see him being in the NHL.

Kadri got one game after being drafted. Emergency call-up if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Magic Man]

Swapping Carlyle for Horachek. Now, Bringing Nylander over from Sweden.

Can't say they're not trying to spice it up. Should be fun to watch.

 

[Macman]

He wasn't 18.

I'm guessing Damphousse was probably the last forward.

 

[FriedEgg]

Interesting. Any chance he plays in the O?
