Toronto Maple Leafs preseason is well underway and as a result, we’ve seen a few surprises already.
When evaluating the Toronto Maple Leafs roster this offseason, every position seemed like a lock. With multiple acquisitions via free agency, the team seemed set and ready for opening night.
However, as per usual, once the puck dropped, things began to change.
Whether it’s a player on a PTO, a first-round pick or someone just flying under the radar, different players begin to emerge and look NHL ready. Unfortunately, you’re limited to a 23-man roster so you can’t keep everybody, but there have definitely been a few players making a name for themselves.
