Over the summer, Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas signed Garrett Wilson, Jason Spezza, Nick Shore, Pontus Aberg, and Kenny Agostino to compete for jobs on the team.
That is in addition to incumbents Trevor Moore, Freddie the Goat Gauthier, and Nic Petan.
They even brought in Matt Read on a professional tryout.
Despite this some people talked about the outside chance that prospect Jeremy Bracco could make the team. Other suggested Yegor Korshkev and maybe, as a dark horse, Pierre Engvall.
To my knowledge, no one talked about Dmytro Timashov.
