TORONTO -- Class is fully in session for a cherubic Toronto Maple Leafs roster now in its next phase of the rebuild.
Called up earlier this week, prospects William Nylander, Kasperi Kapanen, Nikita Soshnikov and Zach Hyman are getting their NHL feet wet now, which was always part of the plan post-trade deadline after the front office jettisoned a number of veterans.
The current NHL roster now has 10 players who played in the AHL at some point this season.
They're now in the hands of professor Mike Babcock.
