Top 25 under 25 (by Sept 15, 2019) should be launching towards the end of July.
Check out last season's thread to see the changes in our pipeline. As I'm posting this well in advance of the Draft and associated transactions, this post is malleable.

This year will finally break the Marner/Nylander tie (2. Marner, 3. Nylander) as the younger player put up a career high for just about everything (as well as helping his centre do similar) while the older player was only able to post up good underlying statistics.

What a difference a year can make.

A full year of Matthews + Nylander would've made this a very different conversation.

Nylander's under lying stats were elite, but alongside Kadri's choppy shooting percentage and the other offensive black holes, it wasn't a situation conducive to point production.

A earlier look at the play driving metrics of our top ponies, with Tavares in the mix for reference.
 
Says that Rasanan was dropped from his PTO by the Marlies. Is this just because the don't project him to play in the playoffs?  Seems strange they wouldn't keep him around for training and to be part of the atmosphere.
Anyone know if he is signed or are they cutting him adrift?
 
OK found this:
The Maple Leafs have released defenseman Eemeli Rasanen from his PTO with their AHL affiliate, per the AHL?s Transactions page. The 20-year-old split the season between Jokerit of the KHL and Kiekko-Vantaa of the Mestis, Finland?s second division before joining the Marlies in mid-March when his season came to an end.  However, he played in just five regular season games down the stretch and has yet to suit up in the postseason.  Rasanen, a second-rounder back in 2017, is already signed with Jokerit for the 2019-20 season.

Probably going to let him play for Jokerit next season, even though I think playing for the Marlies would be a much better option for him.  Or are the Leafs giving up on him?

The bolded answers your question. He'd have to get out of his contract to play for the Marlies next season.
 
To bad, he is still very young, so another season in Jokerit is not the end of the world.  Hopefully by the end of next season Lilyman, Sandin and Hollowell are with the big team making space for Gordeev and Rasanen

Was also named the WHL's goalie of the year. He's off to Halifax for the Memorial Cup now. Ever since Pogge I've been pretty sceptical of uber-WHL goalies until they perform in the AHL but still a heck of a season for the guy.

Goalies are impossible.
 
I'm curious to know what voodoo sauce they gave Scott during his brief stint with the Marlies last year.

Lets hope because we cant go into it with Sparks as backup.

There's multiple reasons why there's literally zero chance that either Scott or Woll is the backup.

Yeah I wasn't suggesting one would be the backup next season I was thinking long term hopefully one emerges as a real goalie that might potentially replace Andersen at some point.

Could be a real probability of that.  Just to mention that in some of the games KK, who is in the same height and build range as Freddie seems to be moving a lot like Freddie as well (in some of the games I have seen). Not outside the realm of possibility the Leafs use another 6 or 7 pick on a Goalie.
 
Just reading that Gordeev has to be signed to either an AHL or ECHL contract in the next few weeks.  Considering he is playing a very big role in the Guelph playoff run, do we see the Leafs signing him?
Seems as he skates so well that we should keep him in the fold and keep teaching him.
