Three games into the season, I thought I would provide an early prospect report on the Toronto Marlies, focusing mostly on the weekend road trip to Winnipeg to play the Manitoba Moose. The Marlies won the first game 3-2 in regulation, and then trampled over their opponents in the second game that ended 4-0.
There were some massive performances over those two, but there were also some very quiet players who definitely looked a step behind the rest. When it comes to these Toronto Marlies, every game truly is a tryout (say that three times and Dallas Eakins will show up in your mirror).
