The Toronto Maple Leafs have been known for having the best prospect pool for some years now.

All the big headlined names have played for the Toronto Maple Leafs this past season, including Kasperi Kapanen who might just find his was onto next years roster.

I mean, how do you not include him after the incredible show he put on during his time this past season?

However, it’s now time to sit down and rank the top 10 Leafs prospects from worst to best.

And trust me, none of these guys are bad, it’s just a fact that some are better.

What I’m going to do is a quick talent analysis for each player. Quick. I’m really not going into a lot of depth here.

One note, these would be in a different order if we were factoring in the Leafs positional needs, but we’re not.

What I’m doing is simply stating who’s the best here from my perspective.
