The Toronto Maple Leafs seem to have no luck when it comes to hitting on low picks.
While other teams stock their roster with found superstars in the lower rounds, the Leafs can brag about Pierre Engvall, Andreas Johnson and not much else.
Nice picks, but a far cry from finding Bradyon Point, Jason Robertson or Nikita Kucherov with a low pick.
The Leafs current prospect system is designed to help the team do what has evaded them since they turned Tomas Kaberle into a borderline hall of famer. Since Kyle Dubas has been in charge, the Leafs have looked to hit on a future late-round star by focusing on skilled players whose high-end hockey smarts, or “hockey IQ” give them a reasonable shot of being late bloomers.
