Playing mostly in the AHL, Quillan is putting up solid numbers for the Toronto Marlies through the first five months of this year. In 30 games played, he has nine goals and 20 assists, tallying nearly a point per game. His goalscoring pace reflects only a slight improvement over last year, but he's already passed last season's assist total (19) in less than half as many games. Quillan is evolving as a playmaker without losing his ability to grind out crucial goals.

The 10th NHL game has long been a milestone of sorts for young players looking to break into the league, especially teenagers. That's because it's an indication of whether the player is ready to play at the sport's highest level or if he needs more time to develop.
