Leafs' Prospect/Marlies Discussion Thread!

Voit & Moldenhaur fighting for our affection right now

The Marlies roster looks pretty junky other than Robertson, Holmberg, and Steeves (and those latter two, we'll see). Will be good to get some of these other guys over there soon.
 
It's IMO, a very good AHL lineup and the top two lines wouldn't look out of place in an NHL lineup... hell, even 8 outta 12 forwards.

It will be a failure if they miss the playoffs again.
Top two lines NHL quality!!??? Have you seen Abruzz play? Unless you mean 4th line NHL.

We're a 115 point team and any of Robertson, Abruzzese, Steeves, Holmberg, Anderson, McMann, Gaudette, Clifford, Mete, Kral or Hollowell could competently fill in if there's injuries this year, IMO. A bunch of those guys would probably make weaker rosters.

The Marlies have 14 NHL draftees, and ~1300 games of NHL experience (a lot of that is Clifford to be fair, but a bunch of guys have had cups of coffee already).
 
I'm not taking issue about the Leafs and adding some of these guys to the roster. We could get by with a full line of them being our 4th line until the playoffs.

But those players don't likely make a top 6 of any competitive NHL roster, other than Robertson, and we'll see about Holmberg, but probably not, and I don't think Steeves either. Aside from Robertson, could a few of those guys be decent bottom sixers for us or others? Sure, hopefully. My comment went to your comment about those top two lines - yes, not out of place maybe as an NHL fourth line, but otherwise no.
