Toronto Maple Leafs Top Prospect Almost Wins MVP at the World Junior Tournament

The 2020 World Junior Championships (WJC) has wrapped up and Canada has won gold. The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t have any representation in that game. Unfortunately for them, their only remaining prospect played for third place.

Sweden’s top defenseman, Rasmus Sandin, was the last Toronto Maple Leafs prospect standing after USA’s Nick Robertson was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Sandin had an excellent tournament, and most likely would have won the MVP if Sweden had won Gold. He and his teammates on Team Sweden lost their semi-final match against the Russians relegating them to compete for the bronze medal.
