It seemed like the logical question, after the Toronto Marlies bowed out in Game 7 of the second round of the AHL playoffs last week.



Which of the organization’s young players had made the biggest strides over the year? Who had pushed from good prospect to great prospect over the course of an up-and-down 2016-17 season, advancing their career in the process?



Who really put themselves on the Maple Leafs’ radar?



Both Marlies GM Kyle Dubas and head coach Sheldon Keefe singled out defenceman Travis Dermott and left winger Andreas Johnsson when asked for a couple of “most improved” candidates, so we’ll start there.



But there are other names, too.
