The Toronto Maple Leafs have quite a few prospects that are having strong seasons.
Now that we are into December, it’s a good time to check on the players in Toronto’s pipeline.
The Leafs have used more prospects this season that anyone expected. Nick Robertson made the team out of camp, but had trouble sticking because of the team’s depth.
Additionally, Pontus Holmberg, Mac Hollowell, Semyon Der-Arguchintsov, and Philip Kral have all made their NHL debuts so far this season. I don’t think anyone foresaw a situation were one of the NHL’s top teams was breaking in five different prospects, but the injuries have been pretty significant for the Leafs to date this season.
As for their prospects not in the NHL, the majority have played at least 15 games or more, which might not be a good sample size for statistical analysis, but does give us a good idea of how their season are going so far.
This article will focus on three of the Toronto Maple Leafs prospects, Ty Voit, Matthew Knies, and Fraser Minten.
All three players are off to a good start in their 2022-23 season in their respective leagues. The future looks promising for all three. They might not be ready for the NHL yet, but they’re close. Matthew Knies is probably the closest to making the NHL out of the three players mentioned in this article.
Hopefully, all three players will pull the blue and white Toronto Maple Leafs jersey over their heads someday. Until then, we watch them work their way up and wait for their opportunity. They are already proving that Toronto has some good players in its prospect pipeline.
