Last year, Dmitri Ovchinnikov was ranked 15th on our T25U25 list. This year he dropped six spots despite finally getting a full time KHL role. Let's talk about what's likely behind the drop.

Next on our countdown for this year's Top 25 Under 25 series is the Russian goalie Artur Akhtyamov. He had great numbers in the VHL last year, but does that mean much?

Scouting Toronto's latest defenseman prospect, Noah Chadwick. He profiles as a solid all-around defender who could get even better once he adds some muscle and improves his skating.

Looking at the scouting reports and mechanics for the Toronto Maple Leafs' recent 5th round pick: Hudson Malinoski.

Looking at a final, overall assessment of Easton Cowan, his future projection, and if Toronto was right to use their first round pick to draft him.

Breaking down the specific strengths and weaknesses of Easton Cowan's game, using scouting reports and video clips. This covers his skating, puck handling, passing, shooting, physicality/defense, and hockey smarts.

When the Toronto Maple Leafs drafted Easton Cowan with the 28th overall pick, it produced a mixed reaction. But Toronto has done the same thing with Knies and Minten, so is Cowan set to follow the same path?

On Saturday, Toronto wrapped up it's development camp with a scrimmage. Read up on who was said to have strong camps, and who looked good at the scrimmage.

It's not the slowest point of the off-season yet, but boy it's getting there.

Looking ahead to the 2024 NHL draft to talk about some of the top names, and all of the many interesting defensemen who could be first rounders.

Let's talk about Toronto's development camp roster, including their current prospects and all the invites who could be signed to a contract this summer.

The 2023 NHL draft is now over, and we know the three players that the Maple Leafs selected. I've read some scouting reports and watched some highlights. I wanted to share my early thoughts.

With their final pick in the draft, barring last minute trades, the Maple Leafs drafted Noah Chadwick.

The Toronto Maple Leafs kept their 28th overall pick after all, and used it to select Easton Cowan from the London Knights.

Previewing the 2023 NHL draft that starts tonight on June 28th, plus providing more information on the draft you may want to know.

Brad Treliving has a history of trading down at the draft, and there are a few teams that seem like reasonable candidates to trade up to get the 28th overall pick.

Looking at ten of the best goalie prospects available in this year's draft who I would be interested in for Toronto's later picks, or if they trade down.

Looking at some of the better overage options still eligible in the 2023 NHL draft, including 5 forwards and 5 defensemen, who could be interesting late round picks.

Looking at some honourable mentions who didn't make the final cut for a full profile, but includes 12 prospects I still like for Toronto's picks in the 2023 NHL draft.

Bob McKenzie's final rankings just came out, and it changed quite a lot. Looking at what prospects rose, fell, and what it means for who might be available where Toronto will pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

Looking at Vojtech Port, a Czech offensive defenseman playing on the worst team in the WHL last year who may go under the radar as a late round steal.

Looking at the small but real fun Russian forward Timur Mukhanov, and if he's worth a roll of the dice by the Maple Leafs with their later round picks.

Looking at Beckett Hendrickson, an underrated playmaker from the US national development squad, as a later round pick for the Maple Leafs.

Looking at the potential hidden gem that is Felix Nilsson, and his stellar metrics in Sweden's junior league this season. He would make an ideal late round pick for Toronto.

Looking at the underrated defenseman Matthew Mania and why he is a perfect later round swing for the Maple Leafs if he falls that far.
