The Toronto Maple Leafs have a healthy prospect pool right now, and it's great to see.
Players like Joseph Woll, Matthew Knies, Nicholas Robertson and Bobby McMann are enjoying great rookie seasons in the NHL. As wonderful as that is, I want to focus on the prospects Toronto Maple Leafs fans don't see regularly.
The Leafs prospect pool is full of talented players in the AHL and junior hockey. With such talented players, the future looks bright for the team. As is the case with many prospects, they need time to develop. Some will develop faster than others, but that's okay. When the time is right, they will be given every opportunity to succeed.
In this article I will focus on prospects playing at the junior level, such as the OHL, WHL, and overseas.
The Leafs have many prospects just itching at the opportunity to make the jump to the next level. For some, the next level will be the Toronto Marlies in the AHL, but others, playing in the NHL could be reality very soon.
Playing for the Leafs next season is possible for a select few.
This article will showcase ten prospects, with three from the WHL, two from the OHL, two from the NCAA, and three from overseas.
Fans will surely have heard of some of these prospects, as that's part of what comes with being a top prospect for the Leafs. However, there may be a prospect or two that some fans have either never heard of or have forgotten about.
