With the core four leading the way, the Toronto Maple Leafs are set up front for years to come, but according to a recent report, their future could be just as, if not brighter.
The future is now in Toronto?
In a recent report by Jason Bukala of Sportsnet, he analyzed the future of the Maple Leafs, and it's safe to say that dedicated Leafs fans should be ecstatic about their future up front.
According to Bukala, Matthew Knies, Fraser Minten and Easton Cowan all project to be top-six forwards at the NHL level, although their arrivals are expected to come at very different times.
Trade chips?
While it's easy to look at this upside and be patient about the future in Toronto, there are some fans and analysts that could be looking at a report like this which gives the potential for those three to become major trade chips going forward.
Whether or not these three become top-six forwards and even stars with the Maple Leafs or they help them land another top star, the future is seemingly bright in Toronto, and fans should be thrilled.
