Toronto Maple Leafs Select Quentin Musty

Quentin Musty is a 6’2, 190 Lb left-winger from Hamburg, New York, USA.

He will be 17 at the time of the NHL draft but turning 18 on July 6th. Musty just completed his second season with the Sudbury Wolves in the OHL.

After registering 12 goals and 19 assists for 31 points in 50 games during the 202-22 season, Musty greatly improved to 26 goals and 52 assists for 78 points in 53 games this season. (Stats from eliteprospects.com)

Picking where Musty will get selected in the draft is difficult. Some scouts have him getting picked in the mid-first-round, while others think he’ll fall and be an early second-round pick. He could be a steal for the Toronto Maple Leafs at 28th overall.

The consensus on reading scouting reports for Musty is that he’s good at creating space and has an excellent shot. He also likes to use his size to his advantage but needs to do it more consistently. With the likely hood of him spending another two seasons in the OHL, he has plenty of time to work on his consistency. He will continue to grow and learn to be more comfortable with his size.

If Musty can become a 20-30 goal-scoring power forward at the NHL level, that’d be great for the Maple Leafs to have a couple of years down the road. I’d say you’re looking at Musty making it into the NHL by the 2025-26 season at the earliest, but most likely the 2026-27 season at 21 years old.
