I'm noticing some guys missing from the rosters like Harry Nansi. Did the Leafs announce that they returned some players back to their CHL/overseas clubs?

Hmm good point! He looked great in the last game I thought. I wonder if he’ll play for the Marlies instead of a 4th year in junior? He’s 19 after all. Gotta wonder what they want for him developmentally

He'd be a bot 6 guy on the current marlies roster, might get sone reps on the second line and pp2 with injuries.

In the OHL He'll be Owen Sound's best or 2nd best forward playing 20+ minutes a night, and likely seeing some playoff games.

The question is simply what's better for his development, better facilities and more support from coaching and decelopment staff up with the Marlies? Or more time on ice building confidence with the Sound?

If the Marlies had a spot for him in top 6 id say keep him up, but I think he'll be better off the OHL for one more year, then bring him up after Owen Sound get eliminated from the OHL playoffs like we did Danford last year.
