Brad Treliving scouting the OHL sparks some interesting questions about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ plans. Is this a sign of a shift in their draft strategy, prioritizing late-round gems over established talent? With the Leafs likely picking late in the first round, could they be looking for a diamond in the rough like Tristan Delisle? Or are the overagers, Sam Alfano and Pano Fimis, potential free agent targets offering immediate organizational depth? Alfano’s career year and Fimis’ playmaking abilities certainly warrant a look. I predict one of these players will be in a Leafs jersey next season. What do you think Treliving saw in these players, and what does this scouting trip say about the Leafs’ long-term vision? Let’s discuss.
