Honourable mention: Matt Read (5’10, 188 lbs, Ilderton, Ontario, RW)

Last but certainly not least, is a player I feel that deserves an honourable mention, Matt Read.

It seems like everyone keeps forgetting that Toronto extended an invite to Matt Read. Brought in via PTO, Read had a lot on the line coming into training camp. After three games, Read has put up two points and has shown that he is still capable of keeping up with pro competition.

Matt Read is a warrior on the ice, willing to grind it out, and help his team do whatever it takes to win. Read has had a good camp, and has been extended a contract by the Toronto Marlies – it isn’t surprising in the least.

In conclusion, the expectations for every player is different. Leafs nation has a concrete idea of who exactly will be on the Toronto Maple Leafs roster, but it’s where for some players, that is the pressing question.
