The rescheduled World Junior Championship is now complete, and the Toronto Maple Leafs had three prospects in the tournament.
The Toronto Maple Leafs had Matthew Knies representing Team USA, Roni Hirvonen, and Topi Niemela representing Team Finland.
Teams do not judge prospects on just one tournament, but their performance during one helps to see where they are in their development. A team might adjust their prospect rankings based on tournament performances, but it is usually only a slight adjustment.
Knies, Hirvonen, and Niemela are all on Toronto’s top 10 prospects list. Depending on who you ask, Knies and Niemela are two of Toronto’s top three prospects.
