"Luke Haymes has put together a solid first year with the Marlies this season. Signed to a two-year contract that runs through the 2026-27 season, the 22-year-old center is currently third in goals with 14 and seventh in team scoring with 24 points. His goal-scoring ability should be welcomed by the Leafs, who haven't scored more than three goals in any game since the Olympic break."
"William Villemeuve may have seen a bit of regression in his offensive game this year with the Marlies, after recording a whopping 40 points in 55 games played last season. Nevertheless, he is still the top point getter for defenders on the team to date, with three goals and 20 points in 48 total games. However, his sacrifice in offense enabled him to develop and grow his defensive game a little more."
With playoff hopes eliminated for the 2025-26 season, the Toronto Maple Leafs face an opportunity to develop prospects during remaining regular season games rather than play meaningless contests. Luke Haymes, a 22-year-old center, has performed well with the Marlies, ranking third in goals with 14 and seventh in scoring with 24 points. His goal-scoring ability addresses Toronto's offensive struggles. William Villeneuve, a defenseman, has shifted focus from offense to defensive development, recording 20 points in 48 games while improving his overall game. Both prospects represent valuable assets worth evaluating at the NHL level before the offseason.
