"Jacob Quillan spent a chunk of time near the end of the NHL season with the Leafs, scoring only a goal and tallying two assists in 23 games. However, his 36 points (14 goals, 22 assists) in 40 games in a split with the Marlies make up for it. Competing in the first round of the AHL playoffs could help solidify a permanent role on the Leafs next season."
"William Villeneuve led all Marlies blueliners in points with 30, which is yet another reason why eyes should be on him. Of those 30 points, 27 of them were assists, showing how his play helps create goals from the point and on the scoresheet. A well-played series by the 24-year-old could earn him a Leafs call-up for next year."
"Easton Cowan has shown signs of promise. Though he recorded 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) in 66 games for the Leafs this season, his style of play ranges much further than just the scoresheet, as he dropped the gloves already to defend a teammate. With a crafty playstyle and even the guts to fight, eyes should be on him to see how he follows up his rookie season with a playoff dance."
The Toronto Marlies are set to compete against the Rochester Americans in the Calder Cup playoffs. Players like Jacob Quillan, who scored 36 points in 40 games, aim to secure a permanent role with the Maple Leafs. William Villeneuve, leading Marlies defensemen with 30 points, could also earn a call-up. Easton Cowan, showing promise with 29 points and a physical style, is another player to watch as he seeks to build on his rookie season during the playoffs.
