With garnering the most coverage in the entire NHL, merely signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as an undrafted free agent usually results in numerous articles and trending hashtags across Canada. The glamour of a new addition or a recent draft pick takes over the fan base, especially after the season has ended.
But with this hype comes an area that is often overlooked by Leafs Nation. Readily accessible at home (for most) are the Canadian Hockey League and American collegiate hockey, where a bulk of Leafs prospects play throughout the year. Naturally, players such as Ian Scott, Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, and Mac Hollowell receive plenty of discussion over the season, as they play in Canada.
