Notable Leafs: 43. Jiri Tlusty, C – Toronto Maple Leafs
Drafted 13th overall in 2006, the Kladno standout made the shift to the OHL where, after posting 34 points in only 37 games, he joined the Toronto Marlies at the end of the 2006-07 season. Tlusty made his NHL debut in 2007-08 where he scored 10 goals in 58 games. While his physical play, strong skating, and knack in the faceoff circle have made the transition to North American hockey easy, Tlusty is an offensively minded, goal scorer, projected to be a top-six forward. Barring any major setbacks, the talented prospect from the Czech Republic will remain on the Toronto Maple Leafs roster for the 2008-09 season. www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/10564/hockeys_future_top50_prospects_fall2008/Justin Pogge was an honorable mention. |

I'm a little surprised that they feel Tlusty is a better prospect than Pogge to be honest.

Everyone thinks Pogge's stalk has fallen.
Not excactly sure why.

Anyone else think Tlusty has had a really good pre-season so far? Think he's in fine form this year and is going to have a real good season.

Yeah, I love Tlusty, but I'm not sure why he's rated ahead of Hodgson.
