Marlies & Growlers 2019-2020

You gotta love the strategy that Dubas has set up. A three tier system, throw the real raw young talent out to the rock and let them play their guts out.  Duszak is a perfect example. Also Hollowell spent some time there.
 
Is Bracco done with the Marlies and just awaiting a trade or is something else going on with him?

"Personal reasons" has been the only explanation given for his absence so far I think.

That could be anything but let's just hope everything is ok with him personally and with his family.
 
Keefe was talking the other day about a players willingness to play any position asked of him, LW or Centre, RW, etc and that the ones making the Leafs learned to play the 200FT game and play where asked on the Marlies. Engvall is a perfect example. Did what was asked of him.
Bracco by all accounts and this is Clune his personal mentor speaking about Bracco; "not putting the work in, not willing to learn the 200Ft. game".  When your mentor throws you under the bus, then you have things to work out or you will never go to the big show.

Thx. That's too bad. Kid does have some talent. Maybe this time away will change things for him and he can become a "late" bloomer.

Just read the European report on PPP.  Why is Rasanen not being played? Why didn't he stay in the OHL. Why is he not getting some time on the Growlers?

Brazeau skates like an 18 wheeler on black ice.  Does have the scoring touch it seems. Best to get him on the Marlies asap

He's huge. He's been working with Barb so his skating has improved. He will get to the Marlies, but the Leafs are being very patient with him.

That goalie was actually drafted at some point?

Apparently he returned to the game wearing 32 instead (presumably because he led all over the original jersey
