I was also unaware of this person.  I like to think we're pretty sharp around here, so how the hell did this fall through the cracks?
 
Get rid of the last name, Gunner Wolf works fine for me, with Ferrat Face behind the bench. We need more forest creatures on our team, now that Marleau's eyebrows have been traded.

He was a teammate of Nicholas Abruzzese who the Leafs just drafted. My guess is they saw something in him to warrant an invite. Gunnarwolfe is heading to Northeastern University..Maybe a future FA signing??
 
The Leafs have pretty big hopes pinned on their two top goalie prospects as we near the end of Andersen's contract.

This one is about Ian Scott, who had something of a miracle run last season with the Raiders after a playoff stint in the midst of the Marlies Calder Cup Championship run.

[Scott] spent [time] with the Toronto Marlies down the stretch that season where, instead of shuffling [him] off to the team?s development group, they played him in a late-season game (which they won) and allowed him to ride shotgun during the Calder Cup run, even putting his name on the trophy.

?He took advantage of that,? Hunt said. ?It can be a bit of a grind but he put himself in a position where their coaching staff wanted him there every day and he got to learn from two goalies who were basically NHL goalies.

?These young kids don?t know until they know. The juniors have no idea how hard the pros work. Ian learned a ton about himself and preparation and I thank the Leafs for that because he came back here and he really never looked back. His posture and his poise throughout the year, there were nights when we weren?t very good in front of him and he was a monster out there.?

I haven't really seen enough of the back half to be even remotely sure.
 
Ignoring the ones that are already in the NHL, there are intriguing names for sure, but mostly question marks to ever hit the big time. I'm intrigued by Scott, Hollowell, Duszak & Brazeau.
 
With the NHL top 8 forwards essentially locked in for the next 3 years, and Rielly/Dermott on defense, our primary prospect concerns in the short term are 1) rounding out the top-4 defense 2) long term dependable 4C on the cheap 3) the next Andersen, and 4) LW with puck-getting and some scoring.

What happened to Der Arguchintsev this past season?

Played on a bad team and had a poor showing on the stats sheet. Playmaking centre with wingers without finish = 0___0

But 1G 1A in 3 Growlers games
