While the Toronto Maple Leafs are finishing up their regular season over the next week, they have some of their top prospects in the midst of their junior and NCAA playoff runs.
While the Toronto Maple Leafs don't have a great prospect pool, some of their players have come along nicely this year and they look to be starting to take advantage of some good drafting in recent years.
Once their playoffs are over, Leafs fans may be able to see some of these top prospects joining the Toronto Marlies to help with their development and give some reinforcements for a playoff drive.
Here is a look at some of the organizations top prospects and where their seasons are currently at:
Taking a Look at how Toronto Maple Leafs Prospects Are Doing in Their Playoffs
Easton Cowan - London Knights (OHL)
Easton Cowan and the London Knights took down the Ontario Hockey League regular season crown with 104 points in 68 games after a 50-14-4 and as such, drew the Flint Firebirds in the first round of the OHL playoffs.
Cowan and his teammates made quick work of their Michigan opponents by sweeping the series in four games, which the Maple Leafs 2023 first round pick collected five points.
The Knights are currently in a holding pattern as they are waiting to see who the victor of the Kitchener Rangers and Erie Otters series will be.. The Rangers currently hold a 3-2 series lead with Game 6 going Tuesday night and if Erie can win that game the series would be extended to a Game 7 which will be held on Wednesday night.
The London Knights are likely to make a deep playoff run with a strong shot at making the Memorial Cup, it is unlikely you'll see Cowan with the Marlies this season.
