The Toronto Maple Leafs are a team that is currently looking for some extra talent in terms of their forward prospects and a Michigan State free agent fits the bill.
While the Maple Leafs are currently focused on the trade deadline as well as an upcoming playoff push, there is no denying that free agency is also an area of concern for the team.
They are trying to retain guys like Mitch Marner, John Tavares, and even Matthew Knies.
Having said that, they are also looking to bring in prospects and a kid from Michigan State named Karsen Dorwart is looking like a potential fit.
Is Karsen Dorwart signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs
We say this because of a new report from Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, who talked about Dorwart on 32 Thoughts.
While the Leafs are still looking to sign Dartmouth standout Luke Haymes, the Leafs are also now looking at Dorwart, who has some potential.
"In a recent pod, we mentioned Ottawa-born Luke Haymes, an NCAA free agent at Dartmouth. The Rangers, Tampa Bay and Toronto are among the teams pursuing him.
Wanted to mention a couple of other names who will be watched as playoffs begin:
Tom Chorske played 596 NHL games from 1989-2000. His son, Brett, is a late bloomer at Colgate.
The Maple Leafs took a long look at Oregon-born Karsen Dorwart of Michigan State, but he returned for his junior season."
This season, the 22-year-old has 11 goals in 32 games and a total of 26 points. Sure, these numbers do not jump off the page but it is also the NCAA, which is a completely different.
The Maple Leafs have seen great success with Knies, who also came from the NCAA and has been fantastic.
Even if Dorwart didn't play next season, it would be very interesting to see where he fits in the Leafs system.
Ultimately, the next few months are going to be fascinating for the Maple Leafs.
