Of all the players I could talk about from the Toronto Marlies, Kristians Rubins is still one of the most mysterious. He’s a big player who can move up and down the ice at a high rate of speed. But the question is — can he put everything togeter? Today, I look into what he’s…
While we were all discussing our displeasure with the Seattle Kraken taking Jared McCann in the NHL Expansion Draft, there was more news for the Leafs. And no, it’s not good news.

It’s always been intriguing to see what Mac Hollowell could be in the future. After watching one short season with him on the Toronto Marlies, I can say that the next few years will be interesting. There’s always the question regarding when he may be ready for the NHL, and I have the possible answer….
Joey Anderson, the player who was acquired in a trade with the New Jersey Devils. I’m sure you remember it. Not many people know much about Anderson though, or what he could provide to the Maple Leafs’ organization. Today, I have everything from what type of player he is, to when he could be in…
Today, the Maple Leafs re-signed Travis Dermott. A good deal nonetheless, but is it one that may work out for Toronto in the future? And could the Leafs be willing to hold onto Dermott in the expansion draft and leave Justin Holl unprotected? ANything is possible. I hope you enjoy the video!
I’ve gone back and forth in terms of what I think about Nick Robertson and what type of player he can be. For now though, I know what player he is. A fast, skilled and strong shooter who belongs in the NHL, not the AHL. Here’s a video where I discuss my reasons behind this…
After Wayne Simmonds’ wrist injury, he wasn’t the same. We all know it. This time around, he’ll be healthy and at a cheaper price tag — for two years. There’s a lot of reasons to like this deal, and there are some question marks in terms of where he’ll play in the lineup. Everything and…
One of the fascinating parts to this season for the Toronto Marlies was their goaltending. The team had eight goaltenders dress for them this season, which is likely a record for Toronto. In the midst of it all, we saw Joseph Woll take a massive step this season. We even got to see Frederik Andersen…
So, I guess this is goodbye, huh? Obviously this isn’t the circumstances I wanted, but hopefully you’re happy with them. You probably don’t know who I am — but I definitely know who you are. You’re great person. A mysterious man. An elite highlight-reel goal-scorer. It all started back on February 29th, 2020 when you…
It’s time to grade the defencemen. One of the most exciting parts of this past season was the Marlies’ defence core.
