The Toronto Maple Leafs are a juggernaut offensively and have some very intriguing players in the pipeline

With the graduations of players like Holl, Johnsson, Sandin and many others, the Toronto Maple Leafs have players in the pipeline that will be knocking on the door as early as next season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs used to have one of the best prospect pools, and now some scouts may be sleeping on some of the players that GM Kyle Dubas has selected in recent drafts.

Dubas’s philosophy is precedented on speed and skill, and from the likes of the players he chooses being relatively on the smaller side, this is seen to be true.

However with an emphasis on skill, and the draft being a crapshoot, taking players who are underlooked by many teams due to their stature may be starting to show some benefits as the players move through the system.
