Tlusty Sent to the OHL
The Maple Leafs sent their 2006 first round draft pick Jiri Tlusty to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL. Tlusty had 3 goals and 1 assist in 6 games with the Toronto Marlies. The fact that he will be playing for the Greyhounds this season should not be much of a surprise for the 18-year-old. Starting the season in the AHL was the surprise, it's very rare for an 18-year-old. GM John Ferguson feels that Tlusty will be able to play more 'go-to-guy' minutes, than he was getting playing for the Marlies.

Tlusty’s AHL Debut
2006 first round pick, Jiri Tlusty made his Marlies debut last night, scoring won goal in a 6-5 victory. If he stays with the Marlies or is sent to the OHL Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, remains to be seen. The Greyhounds would love to have him, but I'm pretty sure Tlusty would rather stay with Marlies. $60 a week to play in the 'O' or a $62,500 yearly salary with the Marlies. It is a rare occurrence to see an 18 year old in the AHL. An argument to having his stay in the AHL, is that Tlusty played in the Elite League in Europe against men, so he's use to playing against larger, strong men.
