Top 25 Under 25

Despite leaving North America last season, he's still cracking the top 20. Is this good for him or bad for the Leafs?

Once again, this defense prospect has room to grow.

Who is this man of mystery? We have video.

Just three names were revealed as we eased into this year's event.

Another day, another Russian goalie.

Goalies. What are they even doing?

They're technically all honourable mentions.

Kicking off this year's T25U25 rankings is Hudson Malinoski, the center playing in the NCAA who has some two-way potential but not a lot of exciting offensive impacts so far.

The group that didn't quite make it.

We have a very exciting mix of writers this year. Meet most of them here.

If the big meanie hadn't said no AHLers that is.

Your turn to rank the prospects.

Check out this year's prospect-heavy list.

10 new players have been added this year.

Old age comes to us all.

History that feels less ancient.

The past is another country.

The problem with Liljegren is that people try to sell him hard. I invented the term "big success" just for him.

Today another T25 comes to an end. It was one of the oddest, and also the best in some ways. The first T25 on an independent PPP has been fun, which makes it a success. But the prospect pool is very odd, difficult to judge no matter the method you use. We managed, though!

The top four, arrived at by slightly different paths.

Rising like a phoenix to take over from that other guy from Arizona, Matt Knies is Toronto's best young player.

Liljegren is only one of two players eligible for this list who is a regular NHL player, but he's also young enough that people still think that maybe he can still improve. Come see the debate about how good an NHLer he is, and if he can get better!

Nick Robertson has only played in 31 NHL games and 82 total games in the past three seasons, and the shine is off a former star prospect. Can he stay healthy and learn how to be effective in the NHL, or has his opportunity already slipped by?

The Maple Leafs are historically terrible at drafting and developing their own goalies. Will Woll be a Potvin or a Bibeau?

The bulk of the T25 is over, and the only thing left is the final four – no cores in sight.
