Toronto Maple Leafs prospects report: Feb. 13-20

It’s the worst part of the season to me, right now. We’re so close to the playoffs starting, but so far away. The Leafs prospects are almost all guaranteed a spot in the playoffs right now, except for Keaton Middleton and the Saginaw Spirit. The Spirit would need a huge win streak to catch up and pass the 8th place Sarnia Sting, who are five points ahead of the Spirit. CHL teams that are locked into the playoffs are now marked with an ‘x’ as tradition goes, the NCAA playoffs are weird and scary and I’m not even trying to figure them out in advance.

I’ll also add their standings and points back of a playoff spot or home ice under each teams name. I hope it’s not too cluttered.
