I would love to see Dahlin be successful in his career but as a Leafs fan I am hoping it's a notch below the monstrous player he was touted to be....

if Dahlin was a leaf he's be getting crucified. people harp on Liljegren mistakes but Dahlin made many more. hell, Sandin looked like the better...

sending him to a 4th tier league to play for his dad is not optimal.

Laval would be somewhat better than Finland, I suppose. But he should not play in Montreal beyond the 9 game look.

Actually, there is if the plan is to send him back to Europe. If he's going to Laval after, I would find it redundant but otherwise I'd be fine with...

None, our posts crossed paths.

What prospects?

What is the harm of a 9 game look?

Kotkoniemi just turned 18, give him some time for christsakes. I know everyone is desperate to have some excitement on the team but you are missing...

No harm in giving him a 9 game look.

This, so much this, from pretty much the mouth of every NHL coach. If the kids needs development, then he needs to do it in a development league,...

Galchenyuk is an argument in favor of not rushing them. He would have been better served spending more time in juniors honing his skills at center...

I know that our fellow North Carolinians are still dealing with the aftermaths of Florence, but I thought we could all spare a bit of time thinking...

**** no there won't be. If that was the case, half the league would play their first round picks on the third line (or third d pair) and never put...

I'm pretty sure Holl isn't waiver exempt. So I could see the Leafs keeping him as an extra defenseman. Carrick they'd either waive or trade.

I don't understand how some of you keep falling for the same trick every year. There are always some 18-19 year olds that look pretty good in camp...

No, he wasn't.

none of them were 3rd overall. Galchenyuk was 3rd overall and was fine making the league in his first year.

Not rushing him is a good argument. The best 3 players that we've developed lately have been Subban, Max and Gallagher. Subban, 2 junior seasons...

the kid is not going to play on the top 2 lines. I'd rather see him get heavy minutes in a lesser league.

Just because he's currently one of the best 4 centers in our roster is not a good enough reason to keep him in the lineup. We need to play the long...

I can see an argument for the AHL but his league in Finland is trash. At least give him the nine game look.

other than the fear based argument about not rushing him, there is no reason the Mole shouldn't start the season with us

I'll be a bit surprised if Carrick is still around on opening night. Is Holl waiver eligible? I think he might get snagged if they send him down.

Yeah, I don't think we're seeing enough from Rosen away from the puck to justify going LHD heavy, and Carrick hasn't had a great camp either. I...

I think Ozhiganov just took the 3rd RD spot.

Toronto Maple Marlies - 3 Buffalo Sabres Opening Night Roster - 2

If 18 year olds can keep pace in the NhL and utilize their skills and ability and and are used on a regular shift there will be huge benefits to...

It's definitely tough to walk into the league and be an impact defender, tougher than any other position. This is a sample size of one pre season...
