Kressler is in his last season of OHL eligibility and will now have a fantastic opportunity to chase an OHL championship and a potential Memorial Cup. He has been a fast-rising prospect within the Maple Leafs system thanks to his fantastic play with Flint this season.
Maple Leafs Prospect Looking To Dominate The OHL With New Team
Kressler will join an Ottawa 67s team desperate for offensive help. Kressler this season has 15 goals and 37 points in 33 games. This would be tied for the team lead on his new team in Ottawa.
Kressler, an undrafted free agent signee by the Maple Leafs, will likely be relied on heavily by the 67s who currently sit 5th in the Eastern Conference. Even though they are currently 5th they are only 5 points behind conference leader Sudbury. If Kressler can come in and make an impact the 67s could find themselves as a serious contender in the OHL.
A good stretch run in the OHL could set Kressler up fantastic for next season where he will likely start in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies.
