William Villeneuve Could Receive First NHL Call-Up Opportunity

Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving indicated the organization plans to evaluate AHL prospects during the final 19 games of the season, putting William Villeneuve in contention for his first NHL appearance. Drafted in 2020, the 23-year-old has recorded 12 goals and 110 points in 212 AHL games. While his offensive production is established, the team is looking for improved defensive consistency and better decision-making under pressure before committing to a promotion.
