Its clear the Leafs have one of the deeps prospects pools in the league, and in the next year or two many of them will be knocking on the door (if they aren't already).
My predictions between now and 2017/2018:
Nylander [Keep]
Marner [Keep]
Brown [Keep]
Soshnikov [Keep]
Lindberg [Keep]
Johnson [Keep]
C. Smith [Keep]
Timashov [Keep]
Kapanen [Trade]
Hyman [Trade]
Leipsic [Trade]
Leivo [Trade]
Gauthier [Trade]
Dzerkails [Trade/Not Sign]
Dermott [Keep]
Nielsen [Keep]
Valiev [Keep]
Carrick [Keep]
Loov [Trade]
Percy [Trade]
Not sure I understand the bolded. Some of those guys seem like they have a decent shot at a good NHL career. Hyman, Leipsic, Leivo, and Gauthier all seem like valuable top 9 / bottom 6 guys who could play key roles in future success.
It's also likely WAY too early to give up on a guy like Dzerkals who has shown a ton of talent in his first year in NA.
