8. Calle Rosen

Along with Borgman, Rosen was the other Swedish player the Toronto Maple Leafs signed to an entry level contract following the 2016-17 season.

Unlike Borgaman, Rosen did not make the Leafs out of camp last year. Subsequently, he did not appear on our 2018 prospects rankings.  He did, however, get into four NHL games during last season.

To star this season, Rosen was an afterthought for most people and he didn’t look to have much of a future with the Leafs, mostly due to their depth on left-defense.

This season, however Rosen has really moved up the depth chart by performing excellently for the Marlies.

After a decent debut North American season that saw him put up 22 points in 62 games, Rosen has made massive strides this season and currently has 21 points in 30 games for the Marlies.

The only thing the Vaxjo native has going against him is the fact that he’s already 24 while most prospects are in their late teens or early twenties.

Rosen, like Borgman, is definitely good enough to be in the NHL right now, and on a team that wasn’t as deep as the Leafs, he would be.
