9. Toronto Maple Leafs

Strengths: With the additions of Joe Colborne, Jake Gardiner, and recently signed Mark Owuya the Maple Leafs continue to benefit from strong depth in all positions. Nazem Kadri has shown flashes of brilliance, James Reimer has provided top-notch goaltending, and Keith Aulie impressed enough that management made room in the top-six for him. Weaknesses: While adding the likes of Colborne and Gardiner has supported the system, the Maple Leafs still lack cornerstone talent in which to build around - specifically a top-line center. They must continue adding highly-skilled forwards and offensive-defenders to the system to build on their competitiveness. Top 5 Prospects: 1. Nazem Kadri, C, 2. Joe Colborne, C, 3. Jake Gardiner, D, 4. James Reimer, G, 5. Keith Aulie, D. Lost to Graduation: Tyler Bozak, Carl Gunnarsson, Jonas Gustavsson. Lost to Trade: Mikhail Stefanovich.
