Leafs Assign Four Players To Marlies

[blackngold]

Brian Burke, president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Tuesday that the hockey club has assigned forwards Andre Deveaux, Alex Foster, Ryan Hamilton and Ben Ondrus to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. All four players will join the Marlies in time for the ‘Ice Hockey Homecoming’ tournament which begins Thursday, September 24 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

In 2009 preseason action with the Maple Leafs, Deveaux collected seven penalty minutes on September 16 versus Boston, Ondrus accumulated 12 penalty minutes on September 17 at Philadelphia, and Foster registered three shots on September 18 at Pittsburgh. Hamilton did not play in the preseason.

I guess Deveaux isnt tough enough for burke as he turtles sometimes etc.
Ondrus is a good guy, good leader for the marlies, I feel a bit bad for him he deserves playing with the big club.

Deveaux is a sack of ****. Sure any toughness is good toughness. I like what Mirasty did to him.

Great news that Rosehill still hasn't been cut. I'd rather have Rosehill than Deveaux any day.
