Marlies sign defenceman Ty Stanton to ATO
The undrafted Stanton, who just finished his season with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL, also had a try out last fall with the Detroit Red Wings. He attended the combine in 2013 where he cracked the top 10 in the wingspan measure, so we know he has reach.
He also has height. The WHL lists him at 6'4" and 200 lbs. Surprisingly, he's a leftie, while the Leafs, Marlies and Solar Bears have been looking at righties lately.
He finished eighth in scoring on his team with 5 goals and 32 assists in 67 games. One caution on those numbers is that a lot of those assists are secondary points. He drops down in the league rankings when you consider just primary points.
