Recap
So Leafs Nation what do you think?
Keep in mind this ranking is by no means the be-all-and-end-all of prospect rankings and is meant purely to help pass the time until training camp and hockey related news starts kicking back up into gear, and hopefully has served to enlighten you on just how far the Leafs pipeline of young talent has come and what to expect from them.
For a quick recap here is how our list stands so far:
No.20 – Richard Panik
No.19 – Carter Verhaeghe (Recently Traded To The Islanders)
No.18 – Andreas Johnson
No.17 – Casey Bailey
No.16 – Martin Marincin
No.15 – Dmytro Timashov
No.14 – Scott Harrington
No.13 – Travis Dermott
No.12 – Viktor Loov
No.11 – Jeremy Bracco
No.10 – Peter Holland
No.09 – Zach Hyman
No.08 – Stuart Percy
No.07 – Brendan Leipsic
No.06 – Frederik Gauthier
We’ve started to dig into the real meat of our rankings now with some of the Leafs bigger name prospects in Leipsic and Gauthier. 15 prospects in and we’ve only collectively agreed on 3 that should be in the Top 20 on each of our individual rankings. That speaks a lot to he depth and diversity of the Leafs prospect pool, but also to how each of our prospects has some serious holes to their games that they will need to overcome to make an impact at the NHL level.
Let us know in the comments below or on twitter about which prospects deserve their spot? Which don’t? Which should be higher? Is Hyman the most interesting prospect in the world? Is Gauthier the Leafs most controversial prospect? Which shouldn’t have made the list at all? Stay tuned next week for Editor In Leaf’s Top 5 Top 20 Young Leafs!
