#9 – Mason Marchment

The undrafted Mason Marchment is bordering on the age where you can’t really call him a prospect anymore – he is 24.

He played last year for the Marlies and put up an OK 13 goals and 25 points. I put him on this list because the Toronto Maple Leafs have pretty much zero sandpaper in their NHL lineup, and therefore you’ve got to think he’s got a chance at an NHL job this fall – even if it’s just on the fourth line.

Marchment is a 6’4 grinding winger whose existence in the Leafs organization – despite them eliminating pretty much anyone else who fits this profile – leads me to believe he might have a chance at an NHL job.

Marchment was undrafted, the Leafs liked him and sent him to the ECHL, then he earned a job with the Marlies. He’s a longshot to make the NHL, but he’s a popular guy who everyone seems to really cheer for.

I don’t know if that’s enough to make him a legitimate prospect, but how many teams are Cup Contenders and have any type of sure thing in the bottom half of their top prospects list?
