The AHL schedule has been released. Here's what you need to know about the Leafs' affiliate.
As the Leafs rebuild gets underway, the Marlies are sure to attract a lot of attention this season. This is especially true with the ongoing intrigue surrounding newcomers like Kasperi Kapanen and Frederik Gauthier, as well as William Nylander's imminent shift to centre.
On top of that, new head coach Sheldon Keefe and a newly implemented development system under Kyle Dubas will draw some intrigue.
For rivalry's sake, the Marlies lose the Hamilton Bulldogs to St. John's, with the OHL's Belleville Bulls taking over in Hamilton.
