Prospect Ramblings: Holloway, Quinn and Perfetti Shift Work For this Sunday’s Prospect Ramblings, I’ve decided to look at a couple of shifts for three draft-eligible prospects. I asked my followers for who they wanted to see featured and I made selections based on their responses. Dylan Holloway Let’s kick things [...]
Welcome back to the Thursday prospect ramblings. For the start of 2020, I need a formidable opponent to ask me some prospect questions and what do you know I just happen to have the perfect person at my disposal who is extremely smart.

With Ilya Mikheyev’s injury holding him out of the Leafs’ lineup for several more months, he’s essentially been eliminated from any kind of contention. For a look at any of the [...]
