Maple Leafs December Prospect Update: Volume 2 - NCAA Edition

By Alex Hobson

Welcome back to part two of my monthly prospect updates. This edition, we'll be covering the Leafs prospects currently playing in the NCAA. Without further ado, let's get started.

Tony Cameranesi, University of Minnesota-Duluth, C (5th round, 130th overall in 2011)

Cameranesi isn't one of the more heard of prospects in the Leafs' farm system, but he's been flying under the radar and has been having a great season for UMD. He currently has 13 points in 11 games playing alongside of teammate and fellow prospect Dominic Toninato.

Dakota Joshua, Ohio State University, C (5th round, 128th overall in 2014)

Dakota Joshua, the man with two first names, and the man who destroyed playing for the Sioux City Falls Stampede of the USHL last season. He isn't currently performing at the pace he did last year, but keep in mind he's still doing pretty good given the fact that he's now playing for a university team rather than a junior team. He currently has 3 points in 8 games for OSU.

Dominic Toninato, University of Minnesota-Duluth, C (5th round, 126th overall in 2012)

Toninato is playing alongside of teammate Tony Cameranesi on UMD's team this year, and while he's not performing at the pace of Cameranesi, registering only 6 points in 13 games, those are still pretty decent numbers for a University player. Both have been playing key roles on a well rounded UMD team.

Nolan Vesey, University of Maine, LW (6th round, 158th overall in 2014)

Vesey had a great season with U of Maine last season, with 23 points in 36 games, but he's somewhat slowed down and is in a bit of a slump this year with only 2 goals in 14 games. Expect him to pick up his pace however. Rumour has it that the Leafs are the front runners to sign his brother Jimmy Vesey, a Nashville Predators draft pick,however nothing is confirmed.

Thanks for reading.
