Developing defencemen has been a weakness for the Leafs organization but Ben Danford looks like a safe bet to be a real contributor in the coming years.

My latest for @dfotoronto: https://t.co/qbW7m18qsr

Late sharing this but I published a new edition of the Maple Leafs Prospect Roundup at @dfotoronto, checking in with each pick from the 2026 draft class, along with other notes from rest of the pipeline:

Really annoying loss. Thought the Leafs looked tired tonight.

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Can’t believe how good Zack MacEwen has been

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Gritty goal for Willy created by Matthews and Roslovic. 34 is a monster on those contested pucks.

[Sam McKee @SamAMcKee]

We don’t talk about the refs…but

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Great drive by Rielly to draw that penalty and create a chance

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

What a slap pass by Stecher… offensive dynamo back there.

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Hasn’t been Cowan’s best night by any means but he’s still showing he’s an absolute dawg

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

The ref didn’t put his arm up until after Parekh hit the boards and turned around

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Getting a bit worried about ol’ Bobrovsky!

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Don’t mind that from Cowan at all, get pissed.

Looked like Suniev went down fairly easy honestly.

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Another brutal turnover for Cowan and this one ends up in the net.

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Nylander laying the lumber 👀

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Heck of a shot by Gridin

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

A shift to forget for Cowboy yikes

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Luke Gazdic has gotten really good at his job over the last couple of years

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

@josh_libfeld He didn’t look great either tbh

Even at that level, looked slow.
