Possible Toronto Maple Leafs Call-Ups: No. 1: Bobby McMann

With 17 goals in his last 17 games, Bobby McMann is making a name for himself in the AHL right now.

The left-shooting centre should make Leafs’ fans very excited because he could fill a void in the team’s top-six.

The Leafs addressed their left-wing position by adding Ryan O’Reilly and moving John Tavares to the wing, but I think Sheldon Keefe would prefer three veterans down the middle instead of a stacked top-six.

Auston Matthews, Tavares and O’Reilly at centre would be a three-headed monster that could cause issues for their opponent every night.

As a result, it could free up a position in the top-six at left-wing.

That’s where McMann fits in, as his size and recent ability to score could be a welcomed addition with the Leafs.

McMann played eight games with the big club this year and failed to score, but his recent play with the Marlies makes him a great fit to get called up again.

With 29 points in 29 games, McMann is an older rookie at 26 years old, but he could be primed for the NHL.
