"Bobby McMann is probably the more practical current example for this crop of newly acquired Leafs prospects. McMann put together a solid college career but by no means was a standout, and the Maple Leafs organization brought him in as ECHL depth that would develop into a strong AHLer."
"Borgesi shouldn't be expected to be a powerplay quarterback or necessarily a Morgan Rielly-type of player, Borgesi's game isn't high offence or at least that's not how his college career closed out."
"Speed and brains are what works for Borgesi, and the Marlies having a defenceman to help move the puck up the ice is going to continue to be important for them."
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a strong history of discovering undrafted players, such as Tyler Bozak and Bobby McMann. McMann, initially signed as ECHL depth, developed into a solid AHL player. Vinny Borgesi is expected to fill a crucial role as a puck-moving defenceman in the AHL, though he is not projected to be a high-offense player. His speed and intelligence are valuable assets, especially as the organization considers changes in their defensive lineup.
