"The Toronto Maple Leafs' season is still on the brink of completely falling apart. They have lacked a scoring touch that most are used to seeing from a team with high-end scorers. While GM Brad Treliving could roll the dice on making a move before or by the trade deadline to try and help salvage what's been a disappointing season so far, he could look to help improve the team, within the system, for next year."
"The players who leads the Marlies in points, as mentioned before, is the 23-year-old Quillan. He has only played three games in the NHL, one last season and two so far this season. Quillan also leads all Marlies skaters in assists, showing his ability to touch the puck and help his teammates get a goal. Last season, he led Marlies rookies in points (37), goals (18) and assists (19), solidifying himself as solid option, preferably in the top six for AHL team."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling offensively and face a season that could collapse without improved scoring. GM Brad Treliving could trade before the deadline or prioritize internal development for next season. The Toronto Marlies are fourth in the North Division, eighth in the Eastern Conference and 17th in the AHL, with a roster largely of young players adjusting to pro hockey. Jacob Quillan leads the Marlies with 23 points in 26 games (5 goals, 18 assists), has three NHL games, and has produced recent multi-game point streaks. He previously led Marlies rookies in scoring and scored the overtime-winning goal for Quinnipiac in the 2023 NCAA Frozen Four Championship.
