The Toronto Maple Leafs used to face criticism for their weak prospect pool and struggles in developing drafted players. However, the situation has significantly changed, with the Leafs now boasting a wealth of talent.
For instance, Matthew Knies has emerged as a potential superstar in Toronto. Additionally, Fraser Minten, a promising prospect, had an excellent season with the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League, scoring an impressive 31 goals.
Minten was selected by the Leafs in the second round of the 2022 NHL draft. Given his potential, he could possibly become the team's next top center, providing the new GM, Brad Treliving, with more options if he intends to implement changes involving some of the veterans on the roster.
