The Leafs asset value chart
Level “A”
2019 first round pick - which will likely fall anywhere from the mid-20’s to 31.
2020 first round pick - which if dealt would have to be lottery protected to avoid any Ottawa Senators-like disaster scenario
Timothy Liljegren - 2017 first round pick (17th overall), 19-year-old blueliner with over 60 games of professional experience in the AHL.
Kasperi Kapanen - 2014 first rounder (22nd overall), 22-year-old winger has proved himself at the NHL level with 15 goals this season, and that may be the reason why the Leafs will not be interested in trading him.
Rasmus Sandin - 2018 first round pick (29th overall), 18-year-old defenseman who jumped from the OHL to the Marlies and scored 10 points in 18 games prior to playing for Sweden at the 2019 World Junior. (currently out injured)
Level “B”
Andreas Johnsson - The Calder Cup Playoff MVP started slow but now has 19 points with the Leafs and has the speed that most NHL clubs are looking for.
Jeremy Bracco - 2015 second round pick (61st overall), the highly skilled 21-year-old winger is pushing towards being a Level A prospect, he also has a Memorial Cup and World Junior Championship on his list of accomplishments.
Carl Grundstrom - 2016 second round pick (57th overall) - 21-year-old was key contributor on the Marlies top line with Johnsson and Miro Aaltonen on their run to a Calder Cup Championship and has continued to play well in his first full AHL season.
2019 or 2020 second round pick
Level “C”
Forwards
Trevor Moore - free agent signing selected as AHL All-Star, leads the Marlies in goal scoring.
Dmytro Timashov - skillful 22-year-old winger in his third AHL season, on pace for career-high in points.
Pierre Engvall - 22-year-old winger with NHL size and good speed, but is a project in need of more experience.
Mason Marchment - big 23-year-old winger who plays with an edge and whose skills have improved immensely over the last two years.
Yegor Korshkov - big skilled 22-year-old winger who has been in the KHL since being selected at the top of the second round in 2016. Unknown commodity who has never played in North America.
Defense
Calle Rosen - 24 years old, Swedish blueliner signed as free agent out of the SHL, leads Marlies in defensive scoring.
Andreas Borgman - hard hitting blueliner who play half of last season in the NHL.
Goalie
Joseph Woll - 2016 third round pick who won gold for Team USA at the 2017 World Junior and enjoying a good junior season at Boston College.
