Who is the Toronto Maple Leafs top call-up candidate for the 2018-19 season? That’s easy, it’s Trevor Moore and it shouldn’t even be up for debate. But what about the next call-up candidate after Moore? Well, that gets tricky.
The Toronto Marlies are currently in a dog fight for a playoff spot in the AHL’s Eastern Conference, sitting 7th with 55 points as of February 7th. They are also loaded with a number of the Leafs top prospects that could soon make an impact in the NHL in the near future.
Given that injuries are bound to happen from time to time, that means players from the farm team will potentially be recalled to the big club at any given moment.
