Bob McKenzie’s finalized draft list is out today, and we can start shopping.
The Leafs have a first-round pick for this year’s draft, and it is the 25th overall. That section of the first round is an area full of higher risk and more uncertainty than the top 10 to 15 places, and there won’t be much consensus on who the best player at that spot will be on draft day.
The last few 25th overall selections were:
- Corson Ceulemans (CBJ in 2021)
- Justin Barron (COL in 2020)
- Connor McMichael (WSH in 2019)
- Dominik Bokk (STL in 2018 and taken with the pick traded to them by Toronto as the Leafs were after Rasmus Sandin and moved down)
- Ryan Poehling (MTL in 2017)
- Riley Tufte (DAL in 2016)
- Jack Roslovic (WPG in 2015)
- David Pastrnak (BOS in 2014 - Winner!
