Big year for the Marlies, we're on the cusp of seeing a bunch of those guys on the NHL team in the next 12 months as injury fill

Steeves-Nylander-Grebby-Hirvonen up front is probably the depth chart at the moment
Rifai-Niemela-Villeneuve-Kokkonen on the blueline

Hopefully Grebby pushes his way to the front of the F depth chart and Niemela/Villeneuve do the same at the back
 
Okay, that's just sexy.

Woll-Akhy is going to be a nice tandem down there this year.


Woll isn’t waiver-exempt anymore, so the only way he’s putting on a Marlie jersey again is if it’s for a few games on a conditioning stint.

Lots of opportunity for that when he finds a way to get hurt brushing his teeth in the morning.

He's everything the Robbie naysayers claimed Robbie was.

No argument. Love him when he’s healthy, but he’s been consistently injury-prone his entire professional career, even throughout his entire time in the AHL.

Just pointing out that whenever he does happen to be healthy, sending him back to the AHL full-time won’t be an option. It’s either keep him as one of your two NHL guys or lose him on waivers.

Regardless, we’re a helluva long way from the days where Erik Kallgren was the only healthy goalie in the organization signed to an NHL contract when our presumptive starter went down (funny enough, partially because Woll was injured then too), and we had to panic-sign Keith Pepperoni to back him up.

Now we’ve got two legit prospects each with multiple years of pro experience, a 1B in Stolarz who very well might be better than our 1A, plus a healthy Matt Murray lurking in the weeds. Pretty nice depth.

I can't decide what Cowan is. A Alex Steen type?

Should....should have higher offensive upside by a fair bit. I've got him as a non psychopath peak Kadri type at the moment. Steen was a good player, but his offensive production wasn't great in Sweden before he got here.

Steens d-1 production was really good. His d+1 production isn’t worth looking at because it was the lockout year and he ended up on a team with forsberg, the sedins and naslund.
 
Think his upside is a Konecny, Hagel type. He has enough skill that he can score goals and play the PP, but he is also greasy and PKs. Perfect complementary piece for us.

Don’t think he has Kadri skill. But young Kadri didn’t have his consistent motor or desire to play D.
 
Skill can be hard to isolate but 18yr old Cowan was way ahead of Kadri's 18yr old production (while 5 months older) and matched Kadri's 19yr old production (while 7 months younger).

I don't know that there's any need to put a hard ceiling on Cowan at all, especially since he's more than fine in the size/speed/grit/leaderbeans categories.

Hagel and Verhaeghe obviously surprised from where they were in junior. Bertuzzi to a lesser extent.

and hey i hope we don't give up on Voit. though the lack of goals might have been a warning sign. and of course he doesn't seem to have any other assets other than pure offense.


buncha guys in there that we probably should have done better developing - Wiliiams, Brooks, D'Amigo, McKegg, Ross, Bracco, Leivo, JMitchell, Nicholls - all showed enough that i think a better franchise could have got a player or two out of that group. Verhaeghe was right in that group at the time and we almost killed his career too.

man, Marlies look pretty bleak in terms of potential future NHLers.

I'm hoping Hirvonen shows something this season. He could still turn into something, was hurt most of last year if I recall correctly.

Him and Grebenkin are really the only two AHL forwards I think I care about.

The D is more encouraging though.

I don't know if i care about Hirvonen unless he takes a huge jump this year.

Guys I actually care about right now:

F: Minten 20, Grebenkin 21, Tverberg 22
D: Niemela 22, Kokkonen 23, Villeneuve 22 (maybe Webber 23 but i have to see him first)
G: Hildeby 23, Akhtyamov 22

I forgot about Minten cause he's injured, so add him to my list. Tverberg I hold out some remote hope for, but not much.

On D, I'm interested in Niemela and Villeneuve. but see both topping out in the bottom-4, if they can even crack the second pair.
