Last year the Leafs post-draft development came took place in early July, right after the draft and free agency were over. The Leafs brought all their available draft picks, and we got to meet Timothy Liljegren for the first time.
But the Leafs pipeline list, even after they draft some players, is not really extensive. Most of their young guys are already on NHL deals and playing on the Marlies right now. We should expect those players to opt out of development camp.
There’s a small mixture of AHL players and a few prospects already working with the Marlies/Leafs development people, but to make those players plus the new draftees enough to hold scrimmages with, the Leafs will invite a lot of extras.
