Dennis Hildeby will be the fourth person from the #Marlies headed to the AHL All-Star Classic.

It's the second consecutive year that he's headed to the festivities. More on why he was added late, plus who else from Toronto will be there this weekend: https://t.co/oNPkkJ7ETV

Steeves needs/deserves a shot with the Leafs and not on the 4th line. Another great game from him today.

The Maple Leafs have recalled F Alex Steeves from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

Ask, and ye shall receive. (Matthews probably going on the shelf after the tournament, dang monkey paw)

Teams are resuming practices so maybe he's just a body?

Steeves: "I know I'm shooting right away when I get the puck. Just trying to set it up. Trying to freeze the d-man, freeze the goalie & look low glove ... It's tough for goalies to pick up. I work with our goalie coach on shot selection. It's where I find I have the most success" https://t.co/1gXt8LkONN

What a well educated fellow

 

[Guilt Trip]

Was at the game and when that play developed I said, no way he's passing the puck to Abruzzese and he ripped it home.

In the chaotic aftermath of the NHL’s trade deadline, the Maple Leafs announced a deal few talked about.

Meet Reese Johnson: the sneaky addition whose time living with a future Hall of Famer changed him.

He could battle for a roster spot soon enough: https://t.co/d3NojgvLJR

I need Bedard’s rating of Johnson’s rizz level

Marlies picked up Brandon Baddock from Rockford last week for future considerations.

Reese Johnson (also required for future considerations) picks up the assist

Baddock is 29, so there’s basically no reason to sign him to an NHL deal next season. His presence is covering for Clifford who is out with injury.

My weekly @6ixOnIce article is back with an in-depth feature on John Prokop! His strengths and weaknesses and how his future here projects! Also includes two other NCAA FA targets I think #LeafsForever should target 👀👀👀

Putting Prokop news in the Marlies thread going forward as he is now ATOing with them

 

[herman]

Luke Haymes, after his first practice with the #Marlies, on why he signed a two-year deal with the Maple Leafs coming from @Dartmouth_MIH:

“Being a younger guy to come out of college, I wanted a place that would really develop me and somewhere with opportunity as well.” pic.twitter.com/WzQMofQB5i

— Nick Barden (@nickbarden) March 26, 2025

Really feels like the Leafs had this in their back pocket the whole time.

Haymes’ production spiked after he attended dev camp with the Leafs.

Luke Haymes and John Prokop discuss their decision to sign with the Leafs: “It’s the best organization in hockey… It’s hard to say no to them."

The new prospects discuss choosing Toronto, and John Gruden provides his first impressions 👇 https://t.co/J5a2nyicJE #LeafsForever

🖊 News | We've signed forward Ryan Kirwan to a 2-year contract.#LongLive pic.twitter.com/pi2pt1LszH

— Toronto Marlies (@TorontoMarlies) March 30, 2025

Friedman mentioned Toronto was looking into Kirwan today. Didn’t think he meant the Marlies.

 

[cw]

Good for them. Seems like they've had a pretty good run at the NCAA and other young free agents.

 

[herman]

Breakdown on LW Ryan Kirwan:
- 23yo, 6'2/205, speedy, strong, tenacious sniper
- 5th on team in CF% (54.5), 8th in xGF% (52.7)
- he is definition of a sniper, that's all he does
- no penalty-killing, no big defensive role
- leads NCAA in all-sit. SOG/60 (17.6), Goals/60 (2.7)

He… https://t.co/PSpCfRccU6

Okay so this guy is funny

The Leafs continue to add to their prospect pool via the college FA route, signing Arizona State forward Ryan Kirwan as their third NCAA player of the 2025 spring cycle.
