The Toronto Maple Leafs released their 2017 development camp roster on Friday.
57 players in total will attend the camp — an increase of 16 over last year’s camp –including 31 forwards, 20 defencemen, and six goalies.
Six of the Leafs‘ seven 2017 draft picks will be in attendance, including first round selection Timothy Liljegren, with only Vladislav Kara absent. It will also be the first development camp for Nikolai Chebykin, the team’s 2016 seventh-round pick out of Russia.
Not included on the list of attendees is centerman Dominic Toninato, the 2012 fifth round draft selection who just finished up his college career at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. He will become an unrestricted free agent if he isn’t signed by August 15.
Also absent is Jack Walker, the team’s 2016 sixth-round pick who just finished his junior career in Victoria of the WHL. He is in the same boat as Adam Brooks, who was officially signed to his entry-level contract yesterday. If Walker didn’t receive a formal offer by June 1st, his rights no longer belong to the team, but he could be a candidate for an AHL deal.
Among the team’s unsigned prospects whose rights expired on June 1, Peterborough Petes winger Nikita Korostelev will attend the camp but former Kingston Frontenacs defenceman Stephen Desrocher will not be present; Desrocher will attend the Columbus Blue Jackets’ development camp in July instead.
Defenceman Jesper Lindgren, the team’s 2015 fourth round pick, attended last year’s camp but is not on the list for the 2017 camp. His rights belong to the team for up to four years (2019) as a draft selection out of Sweden. Lindgren has signed with HPK of the SM-Liiga for the upcoming season.
The camp opens on Thursday, July 6 for medicals before on-ice practice sessions start on Friday, July 7 at the MasterCard Centre.
