So what do you say.Is Olden good enough to get som e games for The Marlies when the season is over for Otters?
I certainly believe he’s good enough to get some time with the Marlies. He’s the best skater and has the best hands on the Otters. The numbers aren’t great because he missed time to play in World Juniors and an injury. I’d be surprised if the Leafs don’t sign him and place him with the Marlies next season.
