June 1 came and went and the Leafs did not sign their expiring draft picks. Nikita Korostelev and Stephen Desrocher are no longer part of the Leafs’ organization, and I had assumed on the first version of the list that Fabrice Herzog wasn’t going to get a contract.
In response to some good reader feedback, I added a column to show when rights do expire. And as you can see, this time next year, the Leafs have a lot of decisions to make about players. They drafted a lot of prospects out of junior hockey last year, and you only get two years to decide with them.
