I'm a huge Leafs fan. It's quite possible none of those guys ever play over 100 NHL games. It's quite probable none of them are more than okay 3rd liners on a good day.
McMann looked good at times, but we have to remember he's almost 27. The amount of nhlers that have done anything notable with under 10 NHL games played at his age is quite slim...
I like Steeves but even I admit every organization has guys like Steeves and abruzzese. They're those NHL tweeners
I've been impressed by Holmberg, but I think we need to recognize his NHL upside is likely engvall...
SDA has a tiny chance to being an offensive nhler but likely will be like abruzzese and Steeves.
If you read the context of the original argument, it was that the Leafs "have a terrible prospect pool".
My point was... No they don't. They actually have a pretty good prospect pool.
Anyone can point at a B level prospect and say they aren't going to make it...
Between Knies, Niemela, Hirvonen, Minten, Robertson, Grebyonkin, Amirov, Kral, Steeves, Mcmann, Holmberg, SDA, Voit, Abruzzese, etc.... the Leafs have a good crop.
Not saying its a top system, but way deeper than most contending teams, especially in our division.
