Leafs Sign NCAA Prospect With Higher Production Than Matthew Knies!

Grant Cruikshank, a 24-year-old senior at St. Cloud State, hit his stride closer to the end of his NCAA career.

With 38 points in 41 games this year, Cruikshank defined himself as a professional option, and the Maple Leafs were able to snatch him up on a one-year AHL deal.

Cruikshank's 23 goals were more than top Leafs prospect Matthew Knies in the same league! While Knies is four years his junior, and a much better prospect, it gives a great idea of who Cruikshank could be for the Leafs organization.

Cruikshank equally brings leadership pedigree, as he spent two seasons as captain of Colorado College.

This no-risk signing by the Leafs could pay off in spades. Well done Kyle Dubas!
