Re: Leafs' Prospect Discussion Thread!
Dude averaged 1.9 ppg before he got moved to Windsor last year. He was wrecking it in the games he played in Kitchener. 129 points in 85 games (1.52 ppg). That's the sample I most care about, not the 37 in 37 in Windsor. I'm not sure where that ranked him in post draft production in the OHL, but I'd have to assume it's fairly high.

Leivo 1.16
Ross 1.16

if bracco had something more than just pure offense in his game, then that number might make him interestng. but for an all offense prospect i just don't think it's good enough.

Not one of the above players can hold a candle to Bracco in terms of edge work. I am not a huge fan of his, but he might have enough skating skills, to open up space that he might get a sniff with another organization. I think Marner alone has made it certain no more smurfs will play under Babcock.

Re: Leafs' Prospect Discussion Thread!
I remember when everyone was on the Eakins train (myself included) and look how well that went
Keefe is doing great job but he also has a boat load of talent to work with
Some of Babs decisions are questionable but find me a coach in the league that doesn't have his favorite go to plugs

No coach uses his top players as little as Babs. This is not even arguable at this point.
Other coaches may like their plugs too, but they don't tend to take it to this extreme, especially in the face of the team playing shitty hockey for 1.5 months now.

Agreed, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he turned into a solid middle 6 winger. He has those modern NHL tools. Chippy and quick, good hands around the net, natural goal scoring instincts, enough skill to play with better players, good engine.

They have a smurf in Johnson. Unfortunately. Great player. But we need some big guys with small guy skills. That can get a puck out of a scrum.
IMO
Funny how a lot of people laughed at Boston, saying Neely was a moron(I read that over on HF boards not here). Those people have to be chewing on some spew right about now. If anyone watched Cam Neely play, I don't see how they could deduce that the guy is a moron. He was a phenomenal player. Same with Joe Sakic.
Both their teams are looking great, and I am happy for them. Great players.
I bet Babcock was an okay player, but I bet he couldn't skate.
Another great player, Yzerman, his team isn't too bad either.
I want Grundstrom, Korschov and Kapanen on this team. And Lilly. Then, we kick some permanent ass.

meh, marner and brown are better than jvr and goat at digging out pucks. johnsson has a real solid build. strong lower half like sid.
i agree, you need some size in your lineup, but i wouldn't worry too much about that just yet.

some of those give and goes... sosh can't do that stuff.
he sees seams and gets into them quickly, and because he's so strong on the puck is able to play and score in tight spaces and under pressure (though that's the part of his game i worry won't translate).
sosh is a good skater and has a good shot, but he can't handle the puck or play under pressure like that.
johnsson looks like a guy who could play on the pp and pop 25 goals.
