The Toronto Marlies are 5-2, and with Calle Rosen and Martin Marincin now on the roster, this team looks poised for a dominant season. With Travis Dermott and Vincent LoVerde also in the fold, Toronto boasts a stacked top four in front of two strong AHL goaltenders in Garret Sparks and Calvin Pickard.
The forward depth is excellent, although Brendan Leipsic, Seth Griffith, and Byron Froese are difficult to replace. Ben Smith is the lone point per game player this far, and despite his struggles at the NHL levels, he looks poised to be a top performer on this team all season.
