Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander are not the only players that Toronto Maple Leafs' fans will need to keep an eye out for this upcoming season. 

According to Matt Larkin of The Hockey News, goaltender Frederik Andersen is amongst the top ten goalies who have a shot at the Vezina trophy for the 2017-2018 season. 

Although the 27-year-old player is the "sleeper" amongst the potential candidates, he has gained confidence playing with a younger group, and one that is only going to get better. 

Andersen recorded a .918 save percentage in 66 games with the Leafs last season and could want to prove everyone he could lead his young team to bigger endeavours.
