Prospect Info: 2014 Leafs Board Prospect Ranking: #10

[Prominence]

Voted Ashton but it was hard because he was never seen in top six with leafs, let alone third line.

MacWilliam. People seem to either underrate or forget about him, and I have no clue why. He is real solid, close to NHL ready.

He is 24 years old and was a healthy scratch on a couple of different occasions with the Marlies. He may become on decent #7 in the future.

I agree. He lacks foot speed which will likely hold him back from being a regular NHLer, especially with the speed trend that we're seeing teams go with now.

Why is Nilsson getting so more move love than Loov? Figured Loov was the better prospect based on what I've read here.

Loov has gotten some love last week but Nilsson has been so much better then him in Sweden and overall in their short careers. Don't forget Nilsson was just as hyped as Loov the last 2 years or so at the prospect camp.

And Nilsson is younger...

Tight race between Ashton and Nilsson with only a half an hour to go.
