Depth from Duluth

The club's quest to stock its cupboards with elite young talent has truly begun and a far cry from previous rookie camps in the past.

It was just three years ago that the week long event featured only three first rounders in defencemen Morgan Rielly, Stuart Percy and just one forward in Tyler Biggs.

This time around in Collingwood the Leafs depth revealed four first rounders in centres William Nylander, Frederik Gauthier, Mitch Marner and right winger Kasperi Kapananen.

A high skillset up the middle was evident in the five days that went well beyond this elite group.
