Probably banking on a good relationship with his old Chicago Steel GM/coach to try to recapture what made him successful pre-draft. Basically a free project where the upside is a skilled centre if it works. He was drafted by a team that basically ignores development (they’re all just trade...

Rioting if it’s anything less than Werenski.

Probably Marlie depth as he has history with Ryan Hardy/Greg Moore in the USHL. If they can develop his toolkit into a workable niche à la Mason Marchment, we might get a Denis Malgin for him in a couple of seasons.

PPP: 8. Artur Akhtyamov Whatever it is goalies need to have to be successful, Akhtyamov has it.

PPP: 9. Alexander Bilecki Not often a fresh non-first round pick jumps into one of these top 10s, and it's a confluence of his play and potential under the Memorial Cup winning spotlight, the premium position and style he plays that the Leafs have desperately coveted for over half a decade, and...

Whoa nelly Needs a triple for the cycle; no chance subbed out

I recall he was a more a threat to the screening players and the glass than he was to score. Kaberle to McCabe though...

Speaking of things that I forgot happened this offseason, Daniel Alfredsson is going to have too many choices as PP coach. Chris Whalen argues Raddysh will have to take on more QB responsibilities since his success came via Kucherov, but the Leafs have Nylander, McKenna, Cowan, and Matthews as...

Just going through these again now that we have Danford, McKenna, and MacKenzie in the fold. Also trying to drum up ways to acquire Zayne Parekh from Calgary now that they have Nemec

PPP: 10. Ethan MacKenzie Don't normally see much hype when your team drafts a double-overager*, but I think this one is well warranted. Unless you're a goalie, cracking a world juniors position for Canada is usually a good sign. He had a very strong uptick in production last season (4x the...

He started off the season hot and then got randomly scratched and never really picked it back up after that while playing scutwork minutes. I still blame Treliving anyway: he could have solved the situation with a trade for just about anything and it would've been a better result than walking...

Not going to bother with a training camp thread since it will be quite abbreviated this season, but we will get to see Gavin McKenna in a Leafs uniform this month! Prospect Tournament in Gatineau: Saturday, September 12, 2026 6:00 p.m. Toronto vs. Ottawa Sunday, September 13, 2026 1:00...

A victim of Treliving's waffling From the guys that re-write other articles so you don't have to use the translator Calle Jarnkrok is suiting up for Brynas IF (SHL) along with a plethora of former NHLers (and Leafs prospect Victor Johansson).
