Laurence Gilman joked when he took the helm of the Toronto Marlies that his job was not to screw it up. Gilman, hired over the summer as assistant general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, took over as GM of the Marlies as part of his portfolio. This is quite a different Marlies team than the Calder Cup version. Calle Rosen has been the Marlies’ top defenceman, and GM Laurence Gilman expects he’ll develop into a regular with the Leafs. But at the end of the day, the Marlies are the reservoir of talent that exists to replenish the Toronto Maple Leafs.
