Draft Picks 

 

5th overall-Phil Marleau @Phil

 

Marleau has been the fearless leader for the Marlins this year, and I underlined fearless because he’s currently 2nd in the league in hits. He also has a very respectable 17 Goals and 27 assists, after a slow start he’s been the dominant number 1 Center and Captin they needed

 

10th overall-Edgar Tannahill @Greg_Di

The offensive dynamo and team Canada rep for the Marlins, Tannahill is the spoon that stirs the drink for the Marlins. He has 26 Goals and 23 assists so far for 49 points in 39 games. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

 

15th overall- Greg Eagles @gregreg

Eagles has been a brick wall for the Marlins. Game in and game out. the polish netminder has been dominated and will be the backbone of this team down the stretch.

 

21st overall -Samuel Sparrow @Birdman

 

Sparrow has been a dominant top pairing defenceman for this team. 32 points is very solid for a workhorse defenceman who, earlier in the season before the Marlins added some defence, was playing over 30 minutes a night.

 

27th Overall - Andrei Mikhailov @Big Mac

After a rough start to the season, Mikhailov has shown to be dominant top line forward. He struggled to score at first but had picked it up and has a very solid 18 points.

 

 32nd Overall-Dean Clarke @Kyle

Another workhorse defenceman for the Marlins, while Clarke hasn’t been flashy offensively his 2way game has been on full display for the Marlins this season. A smart lark moving defenceman that can join the rush is something any team will take.

 

43rd Overall- David Clarkson @Jacob Kundrat

A very solid top 6 winger, Clarkson has played very well. He currently sits 4th on the team in scoring with 17 goals and 18 assist. Another highly potent peice to the Marlins.

 

 

54th Overall - Scotty  @FerdaJets

Another Dominant Center, Scotty has been solid, Rotation the 2nd line and playing very well. He started off his season a little rough but has shown lately he has what it takes to be a dominant top teir center.

 

65th Overall- Lexington Lewis@Lexlooter

Hasnt seen much action. But has been solid in limited time and as a penalty killer.

 

76th Overall: D - Taylor Budwaisor @AnthonyOuellet

Mostly played season as 7th defenceman. Seen limited time for the team with emergence of young defenceman.

 

 

The rest of the team has been filled out by signing’s. Most of which have been very impactful.

 

 

Dalton Wilcox @Dalton Wilcox

Another top 6 Winger, has been very solid for the Marlins.12 Goals and 19 assists. He has been more then great in that second line.

 

Alex Pearson @Jayrad28

Pearson has been very good for the Marlins. When you have 3 dominant offensive Centers that can munch minutes it’s a good problem. Pearson has improved as the season goes on and cure has 14 goals and 11 assists.

 

Lincoln Tate @Lincoln Tate

The Marlins golden boy.Tate has 10 goals and 43 assists in 39 games so far this season. He has been dominant on that power play unit. He is going to be  very dominant force on that blue line.

 

Ryszard Franciszek @ItssYoBoiDaLegend

Another dominant defenceman for the Marlins, Franciszek has been a solid shutdown hard hitting defenceman. He also had a hat trick in his first career game.

 

Pierre Persson @Dominus89

The number of quality defenceman the Marlins have is unfair. the smooth skating puck moving defenceman has 5 goals and 23 assists so far this season. He’s been another very solid signing.

 

Nick Kirkpatrick @Nick Kirkpatrick

A solid depth forward and penelty killer. Has been solid in limited games for the marlins.

 

Sean McGee @Strooper99

The young goalie had been eyeing his first start this season, but had been a Good locker room presence and has shown some solid growth. Will be a starting goalie in the near future for sure

 

Charles Drumm @frescoelmo

Drumm has only played 7 games but has been solid and looks to build on that going forward. He dosnt have a point yet but he’s come close and it looks like it’s coming.

 

 

 

The Marlins have a great young team and one of the deepest defence in the league. If they can continue this upward momentum and growth there is no reason they can’t do real damage in the playoffs.

You should probably include that he used to be a goalie (Knox Booth)
