Corey Pronman’s deep dive into the farm system of every NHL organization includes a ranking of all of the team’s prospects, broken into tiers based on their projection; the impact on the upcoming season and an overall ranking of all players under 23. Further explanation of Pronman’s system, player eligibility, prospect tiers and the complete ranking of all 31 teams can be found here.



The Leafs’ system isn’t all that stacked at the amateur level, but their AHL team showed some promise at the prospect level, with Rasmus Sandin and Jeremy Bracco showing significant progress last season. The talent at the top is average, but I like the depth of the pipeline, as the Leafs have targeted a lot of skill in their prospects in recent years.
