They don't play again until May 19th!

Rasanen and Scott both continue to practice with the Marlies working with Barb and
Goalie coach. I thought I read somewhere that Gordeev was with them for some training but not a word on him.

Will they still be in shape by then?

They will be even faster as Barb will have more time to teach them to zoom zoom zoom.  Good article about her training of Braden Points in the Athletic, seem he was a so so skater when he was drafted, to being next to McDavid in speed.  Didn't know she was tied in so highly with the Lightening organization, glad she has time for us.

Off by a bit.

With Dubas moving up to be Leafs GM, who takes his role now as Marlies GM?

Have to figure that's the sort of thing that gets figured out once they have a definite picture of what their front office looks like.

So you?re saying it?s NOT Mark Hunter?

Typically the assistant GM of the NHL parent holds the title of GM on the farm. Given the current front office that would be Brandon Pridham or Lawrence Gilman. My thought would probably be Pridham as Gilman would like be the salary cap guy.

The Leafs announced that it will be Gilman who takes over the Marlies.

Gilman getting down to business.

I think Greening and Clune might be Marlies lifers now.

It's interesting, because as fans we always think of AHL'ers are constantly trying to prove themselves as worthy NHL player candidates. With the Leafs depth up front, the odds of either of these guys getting another sniff is much less than another org, but they seem more than content to stay with the Marlies.

It?s NHL facilities and lifestyle (other than bussing), a winning environment, and the knack for teaching and leading by example.

They're setting themselves up for future coaching positions.
