One of the biggest players at Leafs development left one of the biggest impressions. Rueschhoff played in the USHL this season with Dubuque. The massive centreman had 27 points in 57 games, good for eighth on the Fighting Saints in scoring.

He finished the season with some highlight reel goals to his credit.

Rueshhoff was another top performer for Team Sittler. Playing alongside Pospisil, he had a great set of scrimmages.

Given the Leafs lack of depth at centre in the minors, Rueshhoff could be a good option for the team going forward. He is set to go to Western Michigan in 2018, so he has some time to develop further.
