Ranking Prospects 2018-19

Yup he was. The point was that Hollowell's elevated play made it easier for the Leafs to include Durzi in the Muzz trade.

Both Hollowell and Durzi are overage players in junior so they should both be doing very well (which they are). It's tough to predict if either ever make it to the NHL
 
But Hollowell's having a better offensive year. Who knows if either will make the NHL but Mac H is looking pretty good. He also plays for the Soo..

Yeah I mean aren't they kind of interchangable? We'll see I guess.

I think Mac H has made better gains but we'll see is right.
 
Probably drafted by Boy Wonder at the Soo, so you know the Dubas gold dust is all over him. Seem to remind me of Ian White this kid does.  But with a much better offensive upside.

Its starting to look like Muzzin was a steal, why would they give him up with that deal another year at 4M

To the best of my knowledge Scott never posted the entire list to his twitter, so the source is actually the Athletic article... which is behind a paywall... and we've gone over how to properly post articles/information from there before: https://www.tmlfans.ca/community/index.php?topic=4707.0
 
Why didn't the Leafs pick Debrincat with the 2nd pick in 2016? I'm sure Hunter had his reasons for Korshkov however misguided they may have been

A lot of teams passed on him when all he did was put up good numbers in the OHL. Maybe it was his size that scared them off? Who knows. Problem tho, which I guess is a good thing,  he's up after next year and there's no way we could have afforded to keep him and everyone else. Saw him play against Mississauga a few times. He def stood out to me.

There's two ways to look at that. One, it seems unlikely that a year after drafting Marner and various tiny wingers that DeBrincat's size would have put them off that much.

The other though is that because they just got done drafting Marner and Bracco and the rest they were looking for size when they already had scoring punch.

The Korshkov pick was terrible and I said so at the time but honestly, I don't think DeBrincat moves the needle much here.

We'll have no issue fitting Korshkov under the cap amirite!!?

If anything, having DeBrincat in the fold means either Kapanen or Johnsson don't crack the NHL roster yet or have been traded to try to fill another area. We'd also probably be even more concerned about the cap crunch facing the team this summer, and the team would definitely end up having to move someone - likely DeBrincat. You're right in that having him on the roster now probably doesn't move the needle much, but, the assets that could have been picked up by moving him this summer might have in the future.

That being said, I don't think he gets the same opportunity here as he has in Chicago, so, his value probably wouldn't be as high.

Maybe, but I don't think having too many good players would ever be a problem that people worry about.  Debrincat scored 28 last season and is on pace for 44 this year, that talent would shine through at some point even if he hadn't gotten the same opportunity with the Leafs.  I would assume he would be ripping it up in the AHL with the Marlies if he didn't crack the Leafs line up right away and we'd know we have a player there.  Korshkov...well....

I'm very much with you that they should have picked him instead of Korshkov. That said, I really don't think that just filling a team with offensively talented players leads to a cumulative effect. There's still just one puck.
 
Cool, I just moved to BC and have a family of Eagles that fly around our balcony most days. They are the most beautiful flyers!  Nice mask.  Hope he can become The Wall!
 
Good-looking mask.  Which reminds me of the ?baby? or young hawk that landed on our condo terrazzo last year.  It seemed in distress, alternating between gripping the ledge and banging the glass.  It kept cawing and looking as though it was trying to say something.  Our concierge confirmed it really was a baby hawk, and called animal services, but by then the hawk flew away.

It wasn?t an eagle but it was a bird of prey, a raptor, and a beautiful one, too.
