I’m not here to tell you that all 12 of their picks are bound to be NHL stars, but I liked each of their first seven picks, something I certainly can’t say the same about many other teams. I’ll touch on the Rodion Amirov pick at the end, but the majority of this article will be on their next six picks, as I already wrote about why I liked the Amirov pick here.
My process to evaluate their draft class is not exactly rocket science: I rank the players well before we know who the Leafs are going to take.
