The Toronto Maple Leafs have a track record of drafting players than pan out in the NHL. Most notably, and currently on the team, Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Matthew Knies, and hopefully in the future, Easton Cowan and Nick Robertson.
That list could see a couple of new names on it in the future, given how draft picks Wyatt Schingoethe and Alexander Plesovskikh are playing for their respective teams overseas. If all goes to plan, the two players could punch a ticket to play closer to the Leafs organization.
Alexander Plesovskikh
17 goals, 33 points in 34 games played
Drafted in the fifth-round (152nd overall) in the 2024 NHL Draft, Plesovskikh is doing well, given his stat line above, for MHK Spartak Moskva in the Russian league, MHL.
