2015-16 Prospects Thread

Wasn't KK injured or sick for the first two or three games?

Missed the first two games with a virus, so it's possible he was still recovering.

Other players have been rotated out healthy too though, so he's not really at a games played disadvantage per se.

More Timashov: https://streamable.com/sexj
Breakaway goal to cap off a 2G3A night. 35 points (10G25A) in 19 games played, with points in all but 4 games. QMJHL website is pretty good (Timashov's profile)

Martins Dzierkals sitting at 27 pts (12G15A) in 18 games. Held off the scoresheet only 1 game.  (Dzierkal's profile)
 
Andrew Nielsen now has 20 points in 17 games.  He's match last seasons' 7 goals and is 4 points away from a new career high.

In 2005 he was Dion Phaneuf's waterboy.  In 2012-2013 he was playing Midget AA hockey.  In 2013-2014 he was playing Midget AAA hockey.  In 2014-2015 he wasn't even listed by CSS in their preliminary draft rankings.

I really like what he is doing this year.  I have only seen two of his games but he looks really good.
 
Guys, there's a NCAA tournament here in a couple of weeks involving UMass Lowell, Brown, Colgate and Northeastern.

I've had a look but can't see - are there any Leafs prospects in any of those 4 sides or anyone who may be likely to be picked up by or on the radar of the Leafs at some stage?

Hey Arn, I checked out the Leafs prospect page at Hockey's Future and didn't see any player listed at any of those schools.

Speaking of prospects, I did see that Nolan Vesey (Maine) was suspended a game the other day for spearing the opposition goalie after the final buzzer.

All true Luncheon Meat?worth watching Arn as you may notice one or two standouts that hopefully Hunter will go after next draft. Last year when I watched Boston playing I noticed Evan Rodrigues and thought this guy is a standout, now he is a bright prospect with the Sabres and the thing is the kid is from T.O.  wouldn't have been a wasted pick. Not complainng at all about the group we did get. Timashv looking like a steal at his round.

Cheers for looking! I'm very excited for the tournament, not seen much NCAA hockey and never seen any in person so looking forward to it. Hopefully someone I see will make it into the Leafs system perhaps..
 
Another 5 point night for Marner.  2G 3A.  Up to 31 points in 15 games.  On a 9-game point streak putting up 24 points over that stretch.
 
Pity Marner can't play with the Marlies or in Europe next year. Its Leafs or the OHL and I think after this season he has nothing to prove in the OHL. I just don't want Edmonton syndrome happening to this kid. I want him to bulk up on his upper body strength and grow into a man's body that can handle the rigours of NHL play.
A bit of a conundrum really as what do you do with him?

I don't see the Leafs rushing him to the NHL. He's a special player but I really think he looked a little out of place during camp and pre-season this year. I think another year of playing center in the OHL would do him well if that's the only other option.
 
Agreed, he definetly isn't NHL ready (now) but is so dominating in the OHL, I mean 31points in 15 games, that you are talking about the next to two entire seasons there. I guess this will be the only option unless he comes to camp bulked up and seemingly ready to make the leap.
I wish he could play with the Marlies next year, perhaps it time for them to look at their rules or have exeception clauses.  Sort of like they do for gifted students in the school system!

getting sent back to junior twice seemed to work for Max Domi

While I don't think that's a terrible call, Marner  looks significantly more offensively gifted than Domi did at the same age.

Domi draft year ppg: 1.35
Next season/s: 1.52, 1.78

Marner draft year ppg: 2.0
Next season: 2.06 (only played 15 games so far)
