Toronto Maple Leafs Prospect Tournament

These players are battling for entry level contracts with the Toronto Maple Leafs, minor league deals with the Toronto Marlies, and/or a chance to progress to the Toronto Maple Leafs main camp.

Only Robertson, Abramov, Der-Arguchintsev, Gogolev, Steeves, Duszak, Källgren and Scott have entry level contracts with the Toronto Maple Leafs so far.

Hardie, Kressler, Budgell, Frasca, Pare, Saganiuk, Moore and Sevigny are all unsigned players that were invited to development camp for a chance to play their way into a contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs or Toronto Marlies.

Chyzowski, Douglas, Hoefenmayer, Hellickson, McCourt, Pietroniro and Petruzzelli are all under contract with the Marlies for next season.

William Villeneuve was the fourth round pick for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2020.  He’s battling for an entry level contract, but will most likely return to the Saint John Sea Dogs in the QMJHL.

Ty Voit is most likely going to return to the Sarnia Sting in the OHL.  Voit was the Toronto Maple Leafs 5th round pick in 2021.

dark. Next. Is Brennan Menell the Next Mikko Lehtonen?

All of the players that were cut from the development roster were unsigned invites looking for contracts except for Filip Kral who suffered an injury during camp and already has and entry level contract and Joe Miller, an unsigned 2020 Maple Leafs draft pick, who was returned to the Chicago Steel to start the USHL season next week.
