The Russian defenseman and sixth round pick may wind up being the biggest 'steal' of the draft for the Leafs this year.

Another development camp come and gone, but this year featured a much bigger influx of talented new prospects in many years. Who among them all stood out the most?

He can buy himself a car now.

He entered this season as a consensus first rounder, so why did he fall all the way to the fifth round and why did Toronto still draft him?

Toronto invited 26 undrafted prospects to their July 2026 development camp this year. I'm looking at them all to see who could be interesting as potential future signing or draft targets.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Toronto finishes their flurry of third round picks by taking a Finnish goalie.

Elite, elite, elite.

He is now a Maple Leaf!

He'll join the Marlies for this year.

Toronto has a recent history of signing a bunch of free agents out of college the past couple of years, will they make it a third?
