We here at EditorInLeaf are always trying to come up with new ways of keeping you, Leafs Nation. entertained and informed. In regards to that, we’ve been working on something special for a bit for you…
EditorInLeaf’s 1st Annual Top 20 Young Leafs.
Scouts mostly agree that you don’t really know what kind of impact a player will have until he plays 250 games in the league, or just over 3 full seasons. Following that thought process, the writers here at EditorInLeaf.com have each voted for our top young Leaf players following that 250 game played cap as well as an age limit of 24 by the start of the season (so no Kadri) as our only rules.
We’ve each ranked all 39 eligible players from 1 to 20, with a 1st place vote being assigned 20 points, a second place vote being assigned 19 points, etc. We then added up each of our individual lists and the points given to each player and came up with the official final Top20 rankings. To keep things consistent all player information and stats come from eliteprospects.com, unless otherwise mentioned.
If you’d like a full break down check out the Intro piece we put out, see it here.
We’ve already broken down our Top 20 Young Leafs ranked 16-20 which you can check out here, and Top 20 Young Leafs ranked 11-15 – which you can see here.
