The European report is going to be a busy place this year after last year’s rather dull look at Mikko Kokkonen recovering from a concussion and some players no one remembers or votes for at T25 time. This season, with many players from all the North American leagues moving to Europe either for a full season or until the AHL or NHL seasons begin, the list is longer than it’s been in years.
There are two broad types of players of interest to Leafs fans here. The actual prospects who have been drafted or were received in trade from their original drafting club, and the players signed to NHL deals who have been loaned to a European team for an unknown time.
