Winter T25U25: #12-10, Topi Niemela, Roni Hirvonen, and Mikhail Abramov

I mentioned in my #22 article on Veeti Miettinen that I made my rankings by putting all the eligible prospects into tiers and then picking an order to them within their tier. In years past I tinkered with my rankings a lot and agonized over some specific choices or rankings.

This year I came to realize how futile it is. No one’s going to care specifically what number I personally rank them. You probably won’t even care about PPP’s official rankings. What you want to know is who can expect to be legit contributors to the Toronto Maple Leafs — either directly on the Leafs roster in the future, or as useful trade pieces.
