Top 25 Under 25: The Leafs 2nd round pick sets the bar at #10

Coming in at #10 is the last 2020 NHL draft pick of the list — Mister X, our second round pick that is currently at 50th overall. Obviously, that’s something that can change depending on how the rest of the season and playoffs go. But there isn’t really a huge difference in the chances a 2nd round pick has of making the NHL at 32nd than 62nd overall.

So, why did we rank an unknown prospect at #10? Let’s talk about potential.

Age: 17-20

Height: 4’ - 6’ (let’s be honest, he won’t be tall)

2019/20 Team: Somewhere out there, he played hockey

It’s actually surprising how consistently the PPP voters ranked it in two different clusters.
