As a 6'4 defenseman, I can't imagine Simashev drops very far, but it's worth saying:

Please be available at 28 🤞

Abruzzese with some nice patience before firing a shot past Malcolm Subban. That's his second goal of the playoffs.

I think that's best. He has an indefinite amount of time before he has to sign an ELC and there's not a ton of room in Toronto. Peksa got an ELC for a reason, and the org seems to like Hildeby. I think it'll be Petruzzelli, Hildeby, and Peksa rotating for the Marlies next year, although I'd prefer McKay over Petro. Not overly impressed with Petruzzellis game thus far

I think you see Hildeby loaned back to Farjestads. Matt Tomkins who was the number 1 was just signed recently by TBL.

Just guessing but I think they go:

Marlies
Petruzzelli
McKay

Growlers
Peksa
Cavallin

I hope so. Haven't loved Hildeby so far. Cavallin and McKay both look pretty good

That’s interesting, I actually like him better than Peska. Gotta say I don’t blame him looking at all the depth in TOR

My top 3 realistic draft targets at 28th overall:

1. Simashev - He's exactly what the Leafs need. Please hockey gods
2. Gavin Brindley - Love his motor and tenacity. He's really, REALLY good
3. Danil But - He's an absolute tower and has a super diverse toolkit. He'd be really great

Even though the Marlies got fed their lunch by the Calder Cup champs to be, Niemela was a huge joy to watch. He was absolutely flawless for the Marlies and has translated his game perfectly to the NA game. Really can't wait to see him, Tverberg, Hirvonen, and Ovchinnikov given bigger opportunities next year, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Niemela got reps at the NHL level.

Congratulations to my favourite forward prospect, Nikita Grebyonkin on winning the KHL rookie of the year award

calder-cup-playoffs---pontus-holmberg.webp

“ In a game where the Toronto Marlies had their backs against the wall as they attempted to fend off a sweep from the Rochester Americans, Pontus Holmberg came out swinging and scored three goals and an assist en route to the Marlies losing 8-4 in Game 3 against Rochester.

In total, the Swedish forward recorded eight points in seven games — along with a 57-percent Corsi-for percentage and a 55-percent expected goals-for percentage at even strength, according to InStat. Holmberg, a pending RFA, needed a playoffs like this after following up a productive stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs — 13 points in 37 games — with a rather pedestrian AHL output in the 2023 calendar year.“


TOPI NIEMELA, D, TORONTO MARLIES (TORONTO)

“With the exception of Matthew Knies, I’m not sure any Toronto Maple Leafs prospect has elevated their stock over the last few months the way Topi Niemela has. After wrapping up his season in Liiga, the 21-year-old right-shot defenseman joined the Marlies at the end of March and seamlessly transitioned into a core part of the team’s defense core. While playing on the team’s second pair alongside Jordie Benn for seven playoff games, Niemela recorded five points, a 62-percent Corsi-for percentage and a 61-percent expected goals-for percentage at even strength while totalling 20:28 of ice time in all situations, according to InStat. Niemela, who The Hockey News ranked Niemela 100th in this year's Future Watch ranking, appears poised to take on a top pairing with the Marlies next season.
