Quillan was a part of the Maple Leafs prospects' top-six and second power play unit ahead of their showdown against the Canadiens' prospects this weekend.
Jacob Quillan has his eyes set on the NHL this season.
The 22-year-old forward was one of the NCAA's top free agents earlier this spring after winning a National Championship with Quinnipiac University in 2023. He signed a two-year, entry-level deal with Toronto and got into seven games with the Toronto Marlies last season, registering one assist.
After getting a taste of the pro game and seeing what it takes to play at the next level, Quillan believes he's ready for the opportunity.
"I want to make the Maple Leafs. So, that's my expectation," Quillan said on Friday ahead of two games with Toronto's rookies inside the Bell Centre. "Just looking to improve every day and get better and learn from all the great people in [this organization]."
