Leafs' Prospect/Marlies Discussion Thread!

So Minnesota plays Boston College today at 5pm, and the winner plays Quinnipiac/Michigan Saturday at 8pm in Tampa. Knies could be signed and meet the team in Florida on Sunday.

Don't think Knies has a visa to work in Canada, and can't start the process until he's signed to a contract. That means he can't even practice with the team. My guess is the earliest we see him is practicing Monday, maybe Tuesdays game vs. Tampa. Otherwise, it'll be the last game of the year.
 
At this point, I’m hoping Knies wins the ‘chip. Seems like that gives us the best odds that he won’t decide he has unfinished business and needs to go back for another year.
 
Shouldn't factor into his decision. Most of the team's core isn't going to be back

- Cooley is probably a 1 & done and will be in the Coyotes opening night lineup next year
- Snuggerud maybe ditto for the Blues, could just as easily sign and start up in the AHL next season. But could be back
- #2 RW Brodzinksi is in his 4th year
- #2 defender Koster could stay, but kind of had a breakout season and is about to turn 22. If he's turning pro, now is probably the time.
- Kings 2nd round pick Brock Faber is in the same position, just younger. 4th year or go pro?
- 2C is finishing his 4th year
- Starting goalie is finishing his 4th year
- #1 D Lacombe is finishing his 4th year

Half of the team (the half that makes them a national championship contender) could all be gone next season.

He can get a TN visa on his way at the airport. Literally. I did it myself like five times.
