You will all be forgiven if you heard the Maple Leafs announcing Plesovskikh as one of their fifth-round draft picks and your reaction was "who?". There was only one scouting outlet that had any mention of him at all, and it was in Elite Prospects' 2024 draft guide that you had to pay for/subscribe to EP Rinkside in order to access. He was not a ranked prospect, but one of a few hundred prospects that at least got a mention.
Toronto has released the full roster of their own prospects and 22 undrafted, unsigned free agent prospects attending their camp from July 3rd-7th.

Kicking off this year's T25U25 rankings is Hudson Malinoski, the center playing in the NCAA who has some two-way potential but not a lot of exciting offensive impacts so far.
Who is this man of mystery? We have video.
