Toronto Maple Leafs: The Prospect No One Talks About

Of course we already knew that. Before, it was Nylander, Marner, and Matthews. Now that those three have graduated to NHL stars, there’s Andreas Johnsson, Carl Grundstrom, and Travis Dermott (who doesn’t look like he’ll ever see the minors again).

Needless to say, the Leafs prospect system is looking much, much nicer than it did, say, seven years ago. They’ve excelled with their high selections (Matthews and Marner at first and fourth overall respectively) and they’ve managed to seemingly uncover some gems in the late rounds (Johnsson).

With all the hype surrounding these guys, there are some prospects who fly under the radar and excel despite never being mentioned.
