The next several picks are all in a similar tier and are interchangeable for me. Right now I'll select our best goaltending prospect, Joseph Woll

 

[SprDaVE]

Almost to 20 and still a good amount of prospects that would be easily be top 12-15 on most others teams. Lindberg for example was a top 8-10 Sens prospect.

 

[FlareKnight]

Definitely some tough calls to make.

I'll give this one to Woll. A nice goaltending prospect and nice performance at the development camp.

Lot of good choices left.

 

[ChrisCall]

I'm going off board with this one and picking Adam Brooks.
If he shines with the Marlies this year he'll be getting a lot more attention before long...

 

[Jeypic]

Had to go with hyman on this one. Greenway, woll, leivo, lindberg, loov, dzierkals all could go here too though. Man do we ever have a lot of prospects right now.

 

[Warden of the North]

Hyman

 

[Big Easy]

Leivo and Hyman to round out the top 20.

 

[Mr Hockey*]

I would remove Rychel at the 12 spot and insert Martins Dzierkals there.

[Kelly]

If this isn't Hyman I'm gonna be Byman

yeah, sorry.

 

[Mr Hockey*]

So our 19th ranked prospect is good enough to play in the NHL next season and Levio is still not ranked yet.

 

[Once]

Hyman is money in the bank at this point.

 

[Banic]

This pool is the deepest I have ever seen it. Pretty clearly. If we were going by NHL readiness/guaranteed to make the NHL the top 20 would clearly look a lot different as Hyman and Leivo would not still be on the board. It is just shocking that when we got Lindberg in the Phaneuf trade, many here thought it was a great piece to be adding - not a 20th-ish prospect in our system. Its amazing how much talent has been infused in such a short time and to only think that it will likely grow over the next two years..

 

[Hoverhand]

No Fabrice Herzog that's outrageous.

I'd put this one as a toss up between Hyman and Dzierkals but ultimately picked Hyman.

To be honest, I don't even know if he is technically Leafs property.

 

[BertCorbeau]

... Can we make this list the top 40 prospects instead of the top 30? We're going to leave off some good ones by the time we get to #30!

 

[Mr Hockey*]

I think Tony Cameranesi was released from the org this year?

 

[Hoverhand]

To be honest, I don't even know if he is technically Leafs property.

Not gonna lie until I saw this list I forgot he existed.

Turns out he was playing on Zurich with Auston Matthews all year...... so that's interesting.

 

[LV*]

Leivo then Hyman

 

[LV*]

He was on Matthews' line... explains the jump in points. Next year we will see if hes legit

Funny how leivo almost won the last 3 now he's way behind hyman lol

I think Tony Cameranesi was released from the org this year?

Not really. He's going to be on the Marlies next season, if he performs well we'll probably sign him... But pretty sure any team can offer him a contract.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Lindberg Hyman and Leivo

 

[Mr Hockey*]

I really liked Lindberg when he was called up, then he was a healthy scratch with the marlies in the playoffs

 

[burpsalot]

Leivo

- 2.03 goals/60 while playing for the Leafs (highest in NHL 5+ games)
- AHL playoffs, 2nd leading points on Marlies
- AHL regular season, 4th leading points on Marlies
- Good size & physical, won't back down
- showed up for the Marlie Playoffs
- 23 years old

 

[hamzarocks]

Went leivo but hyman was pretty good in his stay. He is older though at 24 and I don't think he has much more room to grow than what he showed us ( basically a clean matt Cooke type player) while leivo still has potential and can be a 20 plus goal scorer (has the shot, and gets into the right areas) he hoe fully worked his ass off and improved his conditioning and slating this off season. Crazy how lindberg isn't going to be a top 20 prospect for us. He was doing very well in his first year in the ahl and had a decent stint in his brief showing. Guys dzerkials, brooks, walker etc are all pretty strong prospects. The future is now with so many players graduating next this year. This will be the season I'm most looking forward to since 05/06 lockout alongside the 13/14 year( thought we were going to win the cup lol)
