With what seams like a signing a day, lately, it’s been hard to keep up on the prospects in the system.
Today, I’ve got the pipeline list updated with all the most recent information. This list is all players drafted by the Leafs, who are not yet signed or who have signed an ELC, but aren’t in the organization yet.
Missing is all free agents who have been signed directly like Joe Duszak. They’re on the depth chart, where all NHL-contracted players on the Leafs, Marlies or Growlers are listed. That one is now overflowing, and needs some work. (And I expect additions at any moment.)
If you want to view this on the web, it’s always available, and will be kept up to date as more players are added or removed.
