I haven’t seen a lot of him, but I did almost include him on my 7th round overagers to target. He has decent but not great skating for his size, but despite being a rank below a behemoth he has better offense than defense. He joined the OHL this year for the first time as an import, and played on the top pair for a pretty good Mississauga team. Larsen is a very big defenseman from Denmark, who went undrafted last year after playing in the Danish pro league. He’s been one of my favorite players to watch this year and this might even be too low for him.Ģ021/22 Stats: 8 goals, 35 assists, 43 points in 57 games He will beat defenders into the corners, and then engage physically to separate them from the puck in order to gather possession. My favorite part about his game though is his willingness to not back down in the physical aspects too.

His shot release and accuracy are incredible too. He can also burst away from pressure in small windows or big ones to create shooting lanes and opportunities for himself to score. He can deliver quick one-touch passes, drop passes, slip passes, and play in the flow in a team style approach if you’d like him to. I have no doubt in my mind that he would thrive if he played 18-20 minutes a night regularly. The only reason he isn’t playing higher in the lineup is due to the quality of the teammates in front of him. Simply put, Marcus has been one of the best 5on5 players in the entire WHL this season since he only averages around 12 minutes of ice time per game. Here’s a blurb on Nguyen from Western Canada scout Joel Henderson: He’s the guy I’d most want to have signed to an ELC, if Toronto is going to go that route. He averaged only 12-13 minutes per night, making his even strength point and primary point rate one of the league’s best for his age group. His point totals were pretty good, especially for a forward playing a depth role on a stacked team. I thought for sure he’d be taken earlier than the 7th round, but he wound up going completely undrafted. I wrote about Nguyen as my top choice for Toronto to target with their 7th round pick. While the official roster has not been released yet, we know of some who have been invited to the dev camp according to various sources.Ģ021/22 Stats: 22 goals, 18 assists, 40 points in 68 games There is also a chance that if one of them really wows the Toronto management, they could be signed to an ELC like Braeden Kressler was last year. Those who do well may also be invited to their Traverse City Rookie Tournament later in the summer. But on top of that, they will also be inviting some undrafted prospects to participate. You can expect most of Toronto’s own non-European prospects to be a part of the dev camp, and maybe a few of their Euro prospects as well. If you were like me and wondering why Toronto was the only team to not release any information about their development camp, this is likely the main reason why. Unlike most NHL teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs are hosting their development camp for their prospects next week - while others seem to be having theirs this week. #LeafsForever- Toronto Maple Leafs July 14, 2022 A look at our 2022 Development Camp roster & schedule.
