Mitch Marner - 2015 4th overall

Craig Button thinks he should go back for another year.  Call him when he hits 3.00 PPG.

I'd rather send him to Europe than back to junior, and I don?t want to send him to Europe. The OHL next year would be a waste, though it also really sucks he can't go to the AHL.

OHL then call up to the NHL after the deadline?

Can't recall someone from the OHL until their junior season is over.

He'll be in the NHL next season guys, and it'll be fine.

I've only been able to watch a little of the game.  Is Marner being used on the wing or at centre?

I didn't watch, but it seems like like played primarily on the wing at even-strength. Played centre/took faceoffs on the PK and played on the point on the PP.

What if it isn't CtB,  What if it isn't?  Look at Nylander.  He's played a whole two games in the NHL and doesn't have a point yet.  And he played in the AHL.

Why can't he play in the AHL?

CHL rules that try to keep their star players in the league as long as possible.

Players drafted out of the CHL are ineligible to play for the AHL until they're 20. You might recall Kadri bouncing between the London Knights and the Leafs.
 
If he is so good, why is he 11 points back of the scoring leader in the OHL?  A guy who was drafted in the 6th round.  I think that fact combined with his small size is putting him firmly into high probability of being a bust territory.

Nylander + Kapanen + Marner = 0G 0A 0P

Some rebuild.

Seriously, he is way too good for the OHL.  There is really no question in my mind that going back to the OHL is going to be terrible for his development.  There is a good chance that the Knights will have to play Erie at some point in the playoffs and they likely will lose to the Otters (better defense).  Marner is likely going to be available for the AHL playoff run this year.  Once he shows that he can hang at that level it will make the decision much easier in the eyes of Lou/Dubas/Hunter/Shanaplan.
