Grading The Toronto Maple Leafs Prospect Pool

At the 2024 NHL Draft the Toronto Maple Leafs added eight players to their prospect pool.

This is the most the Toronto Maple Leafs have added in any single draft since 2020 and as of right now the most they will add for the foreseeable future.

The prospect group has taken a hit in recent years due to the Leafs being firmly in their contention window.

Their draft slot is usually low and between trading future picks and prospects as well as a few key graduates, it leaves the pool with much to be desired.

Both Knies and Robertson were consistently in the lineup, or in Robertson’s case at least on the roster.

Goaltender Joseph Woll played 25 games this year and at points was the starting goalie before injuries.

Pontus Holmberg did spend some time with the Marlies but played over 50 regular season games as well as all seven playoff games.

This means all four of them have officially graduated from prospect status. 

All of these factors combined have lead the Leafs pool to become relatively understocked in key areas.

Despite this, there are some very interesting players and I think it would be a good time to take an inventory and grade them out just to see where the pool is at.
