lol I only have the one with you... though I forget what it is right now!

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
Reading today's prospect ramblings - how come Juolevi's agent is posturing for a move abroad if he was also drafted out of the O?

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
That's a very good question. It's possible there is a loop hope for players drafted in the CHL through the import draft to return to Europe. North American players in junior can not go that route but maybe European imports have that option (just guessing)
Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
Juolevi hadn’t signed his ELC when those rumours came out I think. So the agent was threatening to jettison off to a Euro Pro team for his first contract. Anyone can do that, however it’s career suicide unless you dominate.

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
That's not totally true actually.
They technically could loan him. There isn't any direct rule against that. However due to the agreement the NHL and CHL have in place, the Knights have right of first refusal if the Leafs were to offer to loan him, essentially meaning they could block the loan and keep him in London. So it wouldn't happen.
And it's not really where the player has played that determines where they can play. It's a little more complicated than that. Goldobin played two years in the OHL, but because of a loophole due to him being an import, the Sharks were able to loan him out to a team in the SM-Liiga. Similarily, because Honka was technically "loaned" to the Swift Current Broncos in his draft year (or loopholed to retroactively be loaned), he was able to play in the AHL before his Junior eligibility expired. Alex Nylander signed a deal with his SHL team but was then loaned to the Steelheads to ensure that he had the option of playing in the AHL if his team (now Buffalo) decided it was best.

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
Does he stay with the big club or does he get sent down this year? What's everyone thinking now?
Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
I still think he sticks and puts up a solid amount of points.

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
Agreed he sticks... with a mix of prospects and NHL pros/vets - Marner is still standing out as one of the best players on the ice... the real test comes between Oct5-10 when the rosters have been cut to 30 or so around the league. That will tell the tale.
There will be no repeat of Draisaitl. if he makes it, he performs.

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
He makes it, Lupul officially being hurt helps him out a ton.
I bet he ends up on a line of JvR-Kadri-Marner to end the season, or like Nylander-Matthews-Marner. But to start the season he could very well be on a line of Martin-Bozak-Marner.
My god do I hope it’s a line of Nylander-Matthews-Marner. Do I ever.

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
In fairness I may have humble pie to eat as he is looking good in pres season so maybe he does out last those 9 games... Long time to go yet though

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
He plays 65 games and gets 36 points
Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
This is the PP of the future for the Leafs and in 2 years also the final 2 min line when down by a goal. Other than one offs I don't see this line getting regular usage this year - perhaps a PP2 between now and Xmas

Re: Babcock: Marner has "real good chance to make the Leafs"
anything less than 70 points this season has to be considered a disappointment
