Where is Trevor Moore?

[ElbowLander]

This guy was getting points and playing his rear end off and they demote him to the minors when you have guys like Brown Gauthier and Lindholm basically useless on the 4th line. I get he is waiver eligible and the others are not but is Holl or Marincin making an impact playing 1 game a month?

Better to have a reserve forward we could plug in once in awhile for a spark than 2 guys who never get to play and never will. I swear the personnel management the last few years with Leivo and now with Moore has been atrocious. Meanwhile you have guys like Bracco and Grundstrom that can play in the NHL burning their entry level deals playing useless mins for the Marlies.

He isn't a gud pro yet, he needs to contribute less offensively, PK more, lose board battles (showing heart) and change his name to Zach or Connor.

Remember Mike Babcock is an NHL coach and we're not thus he is practically God.

 

[drewjenks]

He's somewhere in this photo but I haven't been able to spot him yet.

He's wearing a red & white striped shirt + glasses.

 

[Leaf Fans]

He was an emergency call up I believe.

 

[mikeo1]

I liked his play and he probably should be up, but we have much bigger problems.

 

[Rielly4]

Moore looked amazing...IMO he might even be better than Johnsson, but we have to see more. Grundstrom and Marchment would add bodys with grit who can play and will work their tail off. These guys would give our team a much needed spark in the bottom 6.

At the end of the day right now Matthews, Nylander are our biggest issues up front though unfortunately.

 

[BAM]

Moore needs to replace Brown and Lindholm needs to be replaced by Bracco. I want to see how that team performs:

Kapanen-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Marleau-Kadri-Bracco
Moore-Gauthier-Johnsson

 

[TheShape]

He’s ready for the NHL now. Much like Kapanen was two years ago and Johnsson was last season.

The thing is Babcock is a very, very slow learner.

 

[Jozay]

Babcock isnt going to play him over Brown or Lindholm despite him being better than both of them.

 

[robertmac43]

Moore will get his chance eventually, for now id say focus on some of the bigger issues we are facing.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

The weird thing is Babcock realizes he's an NHL caliber talent. He just doesn't want him to play over inferior players

 

[luvdahattymatty]

Gramps here. You nailed it Babs is a slow learner. But he is signed now for next year so I expect he will play more. He gives us more energy. But knocking out Babs favs in Brown and Lundy im not sure about that one from Babs standpoint.

 

[D00bis]

Hope the next call up is Grundstrom he’d look great on our 3rd or 4th line if someone goes down for a bit

 

[Mr Hockey]

Babcock has said they want Moore playing 25 mins (ATOI) and to continue to develop as a goal scorer instead of playing 8 or so minutes as a grinder on the Leafs. You people should listen to Babcock interviews occasionally.

He could and should replace a guy like Marleau and get his 15-16 min but of course that's never going to happen.

Babcock didn’t send him to the Marlies

 

[DarkKnight]

He brings Moore to the table than Lindholm. Deserves to be here.

 

[TheShape]

Babcock didn’t send him to the Marlies

Well he did indirectly by preferring someone like Lindholm over Moore.

Just like Babs didn’t technically trade Leivo, but really he did.

 

[shaner8989]

It’s joke he’s not in the lineup

He’s better then
Brown
Lindholm
Gauthier
Hyman... arguably

Egocock needs a f***ing slap sometimes

 

[member 147413]

No one knows how NHL rosters, roster size, emergency call ups, waivers, etc, actually functions and it’s irritating.

I will say, this team would look a hell of a lot better like...

Kapanen - Matthews - Nylander
Johnsson - Tavares - Marner
Moore - Kadri - Leivo
Marleau - Gauthier - Hyman

Kap and Johnsson both started on the 4th line, getting 8-10min, and it took injuries for Babcock to realize how good they are, what makes Moore so different?

Babcock hates, HATES playing young depth forwards and ultimately that will be his undoing

 

[great]

I think he would make the team better than Lindholm. Maybe let Marleau rest, and bring up Moore for a couple of games. But I'm not sure how the waiver and call up stuff works.

 

[zeke]

yeah, par lindholm is not good.

and freddy is tailing off, too.

dermott and ozzy aren't playing great either.

would love to see kids from the marlies coming up for energy.

but babcock is a stubborn mule.

That how it usually works, a player gets hurt and it's and gives others opportunity to advance, Moore did that, he should be a regular next season.

Other than Ennis the bottom six forwards never seem to miss time through injury. They are all ironmen like Marleau
