No. 1: Joey Anderson

Prior to joining the Toronto Maple Leafs, Anderson had played 52 games in the NHL and was blossoming into a player who could be an everyday fourth-liner, with potential to move up the line-up.

However, since joining the Leafs, he’s only played six NHL games and hasn’t registered a point. Despite the disappointment of not cracking the Leafs roster, he’s been one of the best players on the Toronto Marlies.

Anderson had 26 goals in 56 games last year and showed that he’s deserving of the next step.

This is a huge year for Anderson, as he’s on the final year of a three-year deal with the Leafs. If Anderson can have a good training camp, it wouldn’t be shocking to see him start the season on the Leafs fourth-line.
