4. Ian Scott

Drafted 110th overall in the fourth round of the 2017 draft Ian Scott comes in at number four on our rankings.  He was not ranked last year.

Scott probably made the biggest jump out of any Toronto Maple Leafs prospect. He was looking rather underwhelming since his draft year and had the setback of playing for a weak team in the WHL.

This season, however, he did a complete 180 and has put together a monster season for the Prince Albert Raiders. He currently has a record of 24-3-1 with a save percentage of .940 and a goals against average of 1.68. Obviously no one can maintain those kind of numbers, but they are certainly a good sign.

Scott represented Team Canada at the World Juniors this season, and because he turns 20 in a couple of days, he will likely debut for the Toronto Marlies next season.

With Scott and Joseph Woll, it’s looking like the Leafs have some solid goalie depth to back up and eventually take over for Frederik Andersen.

Although, with that said, be aware that no position is harder to predict than that of goalie.  Scott may end up being anywhere from the next Martin Brodeur to the next Justin Pogge.  You just can’t tell.
