"Last season, Haymes signed a two-year deal with the Maple Leafs in March and played solidly in nine contests, registering six points, including two goals. His solid play has carried over into the season, as he has tallied 26 points, including 15 goals."
"Looking at the current state of the forward core, there are a lot of places where he can slot in. If you want Haymes to get a good chance to see how he fits within the Maple Leafs lineup, Berube can place him on the second line alongside John Tavares and William Nylander, in place of Max Domi."
"The Maple Leafs may opt to keep him where he has been thriving in the minors, but as the Leafs are in full tank mode, it may be worth giving him the chance to succeed at the highest level."
Luke Haymes, an undrafted prospect from Dartmouth College, has emerged as a promising talent for the Toronto organization. After signing a two-year deal with the Maple Leafs in March, he registered six points in nine games last season. This season, his performance has improved significantly with 26 points including 15 goals in the minor leagues. With the Maple Leafs trading three key forwards and currently struggling through a near 10-game losing streak, Haymes presents a viable option for roster depth. The coaching staff could integrate him into various lineup positions, including alongside John Tavares or on lower lines, providing development opportunities at the NHL level.
