The Toronto Maple Leafs Top Prospects: Part 2
The Toronto Maple Leafs will be adding some prospects to an already deep talent pool, this week at the NHL Entry Draft in Dallas. The draft starts Friday night with Round one, and then rounds two through seven are held on Saturday.
The Leafs currently hold the 25th pick in the draft. Whether or not they use it is up for debate, but we’ll so shortly anyhow. (For the record, I think that they will trade it).
Whether or not the Leafs select a player at 25, or whether they trade the pick outright, or move up or down, one thing is for certain: They’ll be getting some more prospects.
The Leafs hold picks in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds, as well as two in the 7th round.
What follows is the Leafs pre-draft 2018 top ten list. We polled all writers at Editor in Leaf and many of us worked together to write up the profiles.
Where we disagreed on rankings, when it was close, we gave more weight to ceiling and less weight to odds that the player makes the NHL in some capacity. Hence why Eemeli Rasanen made the list and Frederick Gauthier did not.
