Notes: Sklenar decided to stay at home this season, starting the season with Znojmo of the Extraliga, but since being demoted to Trebic. The skinny speedster has failed to register a point this season, and his early promise as a prospect is beginning to wane.

Jamie Hodson Greensboro Generals 1 0.893 1 0 0 3.03
Notes: The Leafs have affiliations with an ECHL team in Greensboro and a CHL team in Memphis. Former Memphis star Jonathon Gagnon has gone MIA, reportedly asking for a move from the Maple Leafs organization. Jamie Hodson is stuck behind NHL veteran Daniel Berthiaume in Greensboro, only getting into one of the team’s seven games so far this season. Last year’s high-scoring Memphis squad is struggling to score goals, and the Leafs prospects aren’t helping much, combining for 0 points in 13 games, although they have no problem finding the penalty box, to the tune of 43 minutes in 5 games.
