- Deen’s Daily: Prospect Rankings; Unsigned RFA’s; Brothers Reuniting in Toronto?
USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Connect
The Athletic revealed its prospect rankings ahead of the 2026-27 season, and the Colorado Avalanche are nowhere near the top. There are several big-name RFA's still unsigned, with training camps set to open in less than a month. Which will sign first? Also, the Toronto Maple Leafs already have William Nylander in the NHL and his brother Alex playing for the Toronto Marlies. Could they be pursuing another opportunity to unite brothers in the same organization?
All that and more on this edition of Deen's Daily — August 21.
