Toronto Maple Leafs Prospect Pool Great Despite Being Cup Contender

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been ranked #15 in the 2022 NHL Prospect Pool Rankings by Scott Wheeler of The Athletic.

Some may say that being ranked 15th out of 32 teams isn’t very good, but when you consider that the Toronto Maple Leafs are Stanley Cup contenders that are far from a rebuild, the Leafs are doing extremely well to be ranked #15.

Obviously, rebuilding teams are going to have a greater prospect pool as they bottom out and move veterans to collect high picks and prospects, while Cup contenders trade picks and prospects to bolster their rosters for their playoff runs.
