FTB: Maple Leafs prospects playing at the World Junior Summer Showcase

It’s a hot and sunny Friday in the summer. The perfect day for hockey! The World Junior Summer Showcase starts today and two new Maple Leafs prospects are in the tournament: Nicholas Robertson and Miko Kokkonen. Robertson will be playing today in a USA White vs. USA Blue game, and he’ll be on the White roster.

Meanwhile, Kyle Dubas continues to surprise us with trades out of the blue this week. Yesterday, Andreas Borgman was reassigned to a different Unimatrix yesterday and in return the Leafs received Jordan Schmaltz.

Andersen also commented on whether #Leafs playoff loss still stings at this stage: “You still think about it sometimes, but it’s not a focus of mine. It’s something to look back on and try to use as an experience and motivation for what you do in the summer.”
