2022 NHL Draft Watch List: Narrowing the field for the Leafs

Leafs are ‘struggling’ and their goalies are blowing winnable games. Seems like the perfect time to talk about prospects the Leafs could draft. That’s assuming they don’t wind up trading away what few picks they have this coming draft! For now, let’s proceed assuming they keep them. Otherwise I’ll have nothing to write about.

First Round

Filip Mešár (5’10”, C/W) — ranked 22nd by Bob. The highest ranked player on Bob’s most recent rankings that I have on my watch list. He’s a bit smaller, and he’s a Euro playing in the Slovakian pro league where he has 15 points in 35 games, which is only behind top defensive prospect Simon Nemec on a per game basis for 2022 draft prospects.
