Eh, if the player sucks, don't sign him, teams have let players drafted in every round not signed, any not round 1 pick is more or less of a magic bean too


Marcus doesn't suck, i'd say. 46 points in 38 games in the league below the Allsvenskan is pretty good.

he's 22 though, at this point, he should be in a men's league, you're also not sure if his game translates to an NA ice

It’s also not great. That’s like saying a point per game ECHL player should be in the NHL, and the ECHL is obviously a better league than the third tier Swedish league. Plus the transition to NA ice.

Those are some lofty comparisons

I’ll be curious if this is a cap related move or does he see some game time

Chiasson has been injured most of the season, I have been really curious to see what the Oilers have in him, I am please by the first results, he just plowed through the Dmen to get to the front of the net and to create a scoring chance

He should have been sent down sooner, wasn’t getting top mins with the Marlies, hopefully he can dominate here and come back stronger next year.

Great snipe here

Jack McBain apparently is looking at becoming a free agent rather than signing with the Wild

22 GP 18 goals 11 assists 29 points

6'3 201 pounds

Plays Center

And is from Toronto hushed

Apparently his development chart is on par with Demelo's.

John Leonard had a ton of hype coming out of college.

Through his first NHL season last year - he showed a ton of potential but needed work before earning a full time NHL job. He put up 13p/44 games.

He then went to the AHL after losing his "job" to others in the camp plus 0 points in 5 NHL games this season (and was quite invisible) - which was followed up by a lacklustre AHL stretch.

Through his first 14 AHL games this year, he had just 2 goals, 1 assist & 1.9 shots per game. And nothing noteworthy in camp plus a "okay" NHL showing last year (then a poor NHL showing this year) had him in a really foggy spot and he seemed expendable (which he still could be).

But Leonard has turned things around - and he should see some NHL ice IMO soon if he continues (since the Sharks are dog water and full of injuries).

In his last 28 AHL games, he has 14 goals, 11 assists & 3.8 shots per game. He has found his game and now is actually producing "full time" in the AHL which is necessary for his development and confidence.

Michigan is a joke, what a stacked team. Now thats a home team worth paying to watch.

Anyways hope Steeves is okay

The Hockey Writers have started their prospect profiles, they've already posted Geekie, Wright, Howard, Rohrer and Luneau

It would be great if the Habs could move one of the 3rd round picks they have and get another 2nd rounder. Obviously they still have some players they could be moving before the TDL but there could be some really nice value picks in the 2nd
