Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

Scrounging around for some news to share for once, and we have something on one of our 2020 draft prospects!

Ryan Tverberg, forward for the University of Connecticut Huskies and 2020 7th round pick has been named Player of the Week for the Hockey East conference in men’s NCAA Division 1 hockey.

He’s had a great start to this season, with seven goals and four assists in nine games.

Now, some may say it’s reaching to use a seventh round pick getting player of the week in an NCAA conference as good news and you’re right. This stupid Leafs team. But if you are interested in those prospect, Brigs has something for you later today.

In non-Leafs news the Anaheim Ducks have lost Jamie Drysdale until at least March, maybe the season, with a torn labrum.
