Last year’s Toronto Marlies team was a powerhouse in the AHL. The experience of veterans paired with the skill of their young stars carried them to a Calder Cup championship. This will go a long way in helping the Toronto Maple Leafs in the future, starting this season.
The team, however, may not stay intact come next season. Veterans don’t always stay and young players may earn their chances with the big club.
So how will the Marlies stack up next season, and who will remain in the lineup?
Forwards
Over the past few seasons, the Marlies have lost significant pieces during the season after being called up by the Leafs.
