GDT: Preseason Toronto vs Montreal September 24, 2017, 7:30 PM, TSN4, Scotiabank Arena

I really like Grundstrom moves to Brooks' wing. Grundstom is my most optimistic AHL contributor this year, while Brooks has been maybe the most impressive kid in camp.

 

[Marshy]

3-0 Leafs.

Bracco
Holl
Johnsson

 

[Burnie97]

Yeah I definitely like the look of the second line. The future looks bright. Even if we made a trade or two on the wings for something else down the road... it wouldn't hurt much with the other guys we have coming along.

 

[67Cup]

I could see Grundstrom- Brooks- Bracco as the Marlies top line by part way through the season. And, if so, this board may be speculating/debating about which should be the next to get a look see by the Leafs.

 

[ACC1224]

Marlies or Steelers going to be any easy choice as to which one to watch and which one to pass on for your sports entertainment time tonight.

I'll still PVR the Steelers. If the Leaf game keeps my interest I'll start watching after the Leafs end.

 

[Liminality]

Time to see who rises to the occasion.

 

[ShaneFalco]

If Carrick doesn't make it, I wonder if they look at moving him

 

[LeafsNation75]

 

[Once]

Is liljegren sitting out or with the Wednesday squad? Interesting that Sandin gets another round over him.

 

[zeke]

I still can't believe he put Goat in Hyman's spot. The one guy who he's sure won't make Hyman look bad.

that is hilarious.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Does Babcock really not understand why Tavares+Matthews+Marner+Rielly+Kadri is a stacked unit? Is it because they don't have an unskilled grinder?

Babcock will guard Hymans spot in the top-6 with his life.

Definitely not a stacked unit in Babs' books. It's lacking Hyman and Brown for some gudpro fortification.

Oh god Marincin and Carrick again

Are we going to go through another whole season of people bitching about Hyman and making ludicrous accusations such as this one?

 

[Fogelhund]

No doubt about it. The team could win the President's Trophy, and the Cup, with Hyman getting 50 points and the cup winning goal... people would still complain. I do bet he has a career high in points this year, barring injury.

 

[Walshy7]

Cmon babs, 4 of the 5 best forwards are on one unit stop playing coy it is stacked.

I bet not. But whatever, I am not going to harp on him. He is good player to have. Plays his role well, just don't think he will top 40 points.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Hahahah Babs knows exactly what he’s doing

 

[Mugzy97]

I think he just likes messing with those media folks.

 

[Walshy7]

I think he just likes messing with those media folks.

Must be he can’t be that stupid there is just no way. Messing with media has to be it

 

[Mr Hockey]

Are we going to go through another whole season of people *****ing about Hyman and making ludicrous accusations such as this one?

Yep, they do know better than pro hockey people, just saying

 

[zeke]

Are we going to go through another whole season of people *****ing about Hyman and making ludicrous accusations such as this one?

yep.

 

[leafsfuture]

Lol

As I’ve always said Hyman’s lin is the top line. Whoever he plays with is the top line center

 

[Trapper]

The Marlies look like they have a nice group going forward. We are building a nice feeder system to the big club. So when a Bracco of Grundstrom are ready for the next step, a kid like SDA joins the Marlies. With a Dermott promotion, you have a kid like Sandin gearing up for his AHL experience.
Finally a management team that gets what we’ve been saying since 2008. Keep drafting and the young guys flowing.

 

[Ratboy]

I'm sure their fans felt the same way about the Leafs when they were losing a lot prior to the 2016-2017 season, so I don't think you are being selfish.

Well yeah that's just it. I think they deserve it.
