No. 5: Pavel Gogolev

Gogolev was dominant during his stretch with the Newfound Growlers last year, scoring nine goals in 14 games, while contributing 20 points. His Toronto Marlies season didn’t transition as well as his time in the ECHL but there’s a lot to like about this prospect.

The 22-year-old is another Peterborough Petes prospect, who played with Robertson and SDR and was a very great scorer in junior hockey.

During his last year with the Guelph Storm, he finished with 45 goals and 96 points in only 63 games played. That’s some crazy offensive fire-power that the Leafs organization is hoping transitions to an NHL-level.

Gogolev will start the season with the Marlies this year (most likely), but it wouldn’t be shocking to eventually see him in the NHL. He has a fantastic shot and has really good vision and plays left-wing, which a current position that Toronto lacks in.
