It's a good move for the Marlies.

Cause he's not 6'6. If he was, he'd be like Victor Hedman.

Just over a month ago teams around the NHL lost the exclusive negotiating rights to nearly three dozen draft picks. Some of those players like Adam Mascherin, re-entered the draft and were selected by another team. Others were free to sign professional contracts with whoever they chose. One of the most interesting names on that list was Carolina Hurricanes draft pick Hudson Elynuik, who has now signed an AHL contract with the Toronto Marlies to begin his professional career. The Marlies also signed Emerson Clark, Ryan Moore, Zach O’Brien, Sam Jardine, Stefan LeBlanc and Giorgio Estephan—a draft pick of the Buffalo Sabres that saw his rights expire last year.

Elynuik though is the most exciting name of the bunch. The 6’5″ center was selected 74th overall in 2016, and put up consecutive seasons in the WHL averaging more than a point per game. This year saw him record 86 points in 71 games for the Spokane Chiefs, adding another seven points in seven playoff matches. Son of Pat Elynuik, a former NHL player and eighth-overall pick in 1986, Hudson carries an extremely heavy shot and doesn’t lumber along on his skates as poorly as some other players of his size.

It seems as though Kyle Dubas has added a prospect to the pipeline for free, but it’s important to note that signing an AHL deal with the Marlies does not technically add him to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Since he has still not signed an entry-level contract, his rights are still not owned by the Maple Leafs and he could easily sign with another team when his AHL deal expires. That said, it does give Toronto the inside edge on bringing him in if he can show that there is still real NHL potential in that large frame.

Agreed. It's never a bad idea to bring in young prospects. They likely gave him an AHL deal until they can figure out what to do with the NHL roster. If they don't max out to 50 contracts, he could definitely sign with the big club.

I was there when Forsberg scored that famous goal.

Yup.

Free scratch and win tickets; put them in your system, with quality prospects and players and a winning pedigree and good things can happen.

Tough crowd in there. Calling Tavares a wolf in sheep's clothing. That's harsh...

So salty. As if Tavares owes them personally.

I remember being pretty F'ing pissed at the Muskoka 5.
Let the Isles fan be bitter, we probably would be too.

Notice how my question hasn’t been answered over there?...

“I get it, the NYI fans and organization are pissed and rightfully so. I’d be livid too if Matthews walked as a UFA, but seriously, name ONE thing the Islanders did during Tavares’ time there that would make him want to stay there? Name one and make a case for it.”

That was completely different though. We were trying to trade them but they would veto deals. Which was entirely in their right

Good. (frank) them and their useless franchise. The Coyotes are more stable than that crap on Long Island. Move the team to Southern Ontario and be with it.
