This week Will Scouch (@Scouching on Hockey Twitter) joins us to take an early look at some notable prospects in the 2018 NHL Draft. Since the Leafs are very likely to make the playoffs, we narrowed our focus to players projected to go in the mid-late 1st round. Here’s a list of the prospects we discussed:

16:01 – Isac Lundestrom (6’0 F, Lulea, SHL)
