Toronto Maple Leafs prospects recap: Joseph forms a Woll for Boston

It’s an extra long prospects report this week. I was otherwise occupied the past two weeks couldn’t get to writing this out to my usual standards.

Jack Walker (Victoria, WHL), JJ Piccinich (London, OHL) and Joseph Woll (Boston, NCAA) were the top performers these past two weeks with solid outings.

An average two weeks where most prospects played to the level we expected. Hopefully we get a few more highlight reel games this week.

Jeremy Bracco stays above 2PPG, which is where we’d want him to be at this point with him in the OHL. 6 players over a PPG and two more just below is a good look for the Leafs. Hopefully things continue this way.
