Percy assigned to the Marlies

[Heroic Shrimp]

Not really sure where this belongs, but Stuart Percy has just been sent down to the Marlies.

 

[Highlander]

He was pretty bad the last few games he played.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

An attempt by management to force Randy into playing an actual 4th line?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Good start, but started to struggle recently. With the 6 defencemen that we have he wouldn't have really gotten playing time all season long. This was inevitable.

Wonder if they bring up Leivo or Kontiola to shake up the forward lines.

If not Percy, won't the team still need a spare defenseman for the pressbox?

With recall waivers being gone, the Leafs can just call someone up (Percy or otherwise) on Tuesday.

Well they're not required to have a defenceman there, no. Ideally they would, yeah. But with 6 defencemen healthy they could bring up a forward for the Buffalo game and just go game-by-game from there.

 

[Bullfrog]

Not entirely surprising. He'll be the top guy on the Marlies, so I'm ok with it. He'll get another chance.

 

[bustaheims]

mirtle: Stuart Percy has lowest zone start of any regular NHL d-man this season: 29.9%. He's struggled some but those are very difficult minutes.

Percy still needs time to develop, but, that's a rough way to start your career.

........coach.......

Didn't we send Carlyle to Winnipeg before?  Can't history repeat itself?

 

[Britishbulldog]

Is it assumed that Percy being sent down today is purely a cap savings move, and that he'll be recalled in a few days?

I don't think that can be assumed, no.

I'll be honest and say that I also was hoping it was only a cap savings move.

Toronto traded him to Pittsburgh.

 

[herman]

I don't mind this move. Keep him away from the losing-cooties and let him develop his game as a 1D.

Other then the last two games, I thought he had played very well. And for the last game, the whole defensive corp played like crap. I am guessing a trip down to the Marlies will be best for him. He will get time to play lots of mins.

heard that Percy has been brought up from the Marlies.

Nothing from any of the official/trustworthy sources. They'll likely call someone up for the mini-roadtrip next week, but, unless someone is hurt, I'd be surprised if do it before then.

Never mind.

mirtle: Leafs recall Stuart Percy.

Is freer Paul Hendrick? Like you said, there was nothing online about this when he posted.

Thanks to Facebook.

If Dion is hurt, this makes sense.  Otherwise, if Carlyle is just going to go back to playing 7D it's stupid.
