Leafs' Prospect/Marlies Discussion Thread!

From what I've seen he's got a little more upside in most areas over the goat. A bit bigger, a bit more aggressive, a bit more creative.
 
I suspect his perceived value is way less than his actual. So trade Knies for a king's ransom and then Holmberg slides into his spot.
Could be yeah, mostly due to his age. This guy screams bland vanilla, solid at everything and elite at nothing middle sixer IF ALL GOES WELL. 37 points in 42 games sure looks sexy though. And the fact that he's a finished product at this age has to attract some teams too.
 
Thought his skating looked a little weak at the Olympics. But I also only watched like 5 mins of Olympic hockey.
He comes from the bland Swede school of Hallander, Rickard Wallin and Par Lindholm. From what I've seen of him he relies on his smarts in Sweden and not as much natural skill, not unlike the others.

But he's interesting for sure.
 
Toronto: Where we take bland & vanilla wingers no one has heard of and turn them into 50+ point top 6 wingers.
