5 Marlies That Could Crack the Toronto Maple Leafs Lineup Next Season
By Joseph Zita
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a great development system and there are some players that could potentially crack the lineup next season.
With the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup next year uncertain there is always a chance that some young prospect will crack the lineup.
The Marlies have some players who could potentially make the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup, something we saw several times this past season.
Some of the players would fit right into the Toronto Maple Leafs system too and bring some scoring depth for sure.
Here are five players with a good shot of making it:
5. Kalle Kossila – 27 years old – C
At my number five spot I have Kalle Kossila, and I’m going to start off by saying I don’t think he will take that 4C on the Toronto Maple Leafs but he might come up for some games if needed on that fourth line if they don’t go ahead and re-sign guys like Jason Spezza and Frederik Gauthier.
Kossila who is 27 years old has only played in 19 career NHL games over the span of three years, all with the Anaheim Ducks. He has spent the majority of his career down in the AHL with San Diego and Toronto.
