Toronto Maple Leafs Top Prospects

Before getting down to the business of ranking the Toronto Maple Leafs top prospects, here is the last two years of rankings.

2023-24 Top Prospects

Here is the full article.

10. Nick Moldenhauer, 9. Roni Hirvonen, 8. Mikko Kokkonen, 7. Ty Voit, 6. Fraser Minten, 5. Easton Cowan, 4. Topi Niemela, 3. Nick Robertson, 2. Matthew Knies, 1. Joseph Woll

The year before, we ranked them as follows: 10. Mikko Kokkonen, 9. Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, 8. Ty Voit, 7. Mikhail Abramov, 6. Matthew Knies, 5. Timothy Liljegren, 4. Topi Niemela, 3. Rodion Amirov, 2. Rasmus Sandin, 1.Nick Robertson.

As you can see, with the possible exception of Matthew Knies and Joseph Woll, the Leafs prospect pool hasn't been much to write home about. This year, it's not much different in terms of high-end players, but I think the Leafs have a lot of decent lottery tickets that could potentially pan out.

Before getting down to business, just a note on the rankings: We try to rank the players by considering their overall ceiling in a best case scenario vs the likelihood that that actually occurs. For that reason, we might have players like Ben Danford - almost certain to be an NHL player, just not a very good chance that he's a star - a little lower than most other publications.

On to the top 2024-25 10 prospects in the Toronto Maple Leafs system. (Note: Height, weight, draft info from hockeydb.com).
