Maple Leafs prospect checkpoint: How has Dennis Hildeby fared through 5 months of 2025-26?

Like Easton Cowan, this will likely be Dennis Hildeby's final season seen as a prospect in the Toronto Maple Leafs organization. The hulking 6-foot-7 goaltender got his first taste of NHL action in 2024-25, only two years after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL draft, and while his short stint last season revealed that he still needed some seasoning in the AHL, he has shown through 19 games in 2025-26 that he's ready to be an NHL goaltender. And, if he wasn't a victim of the numbers game with both Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz signed to multi-year deals, he'd probably still be with the team.

"I feel like it hasn't really sunk in yet," he said, smiling. "It means everything," the 6-4, 210-pound Robertson added, still smiling. "It's something you dreamed of doing, from a little kid, scoring in the NHL. I mean, it's every kid's dream, playing hockey.
