From a draft pick's surprising skating improvement to a goaltending prospect turning heads, here's what stood out over four days on the ice.
Toronto's development camp wrapped up Thursday after four days of on-ice sessions, testing, and scrimmages for the organization's prospect pool.
The clearest standout was a recent draft pick whose skating stride looked noticeably improved from where it was at the combine — the kind of offseason work teams like to see translate quickly.
A goaltending prospect signed out of junior last spring also drew praise from development staff for his rebound control, an area flagged as a weakness in his draft-year scouting reports.
