Leafs get set to work

As NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly read out the draft envelopes one-by one, you couldn’t help but get a little more excited as the positions counted down.

Then came the number four selection and many fans were hoping that the fourth pick would not have the Maple Leafs logo.

That didn’t happen.

The good news to come of this is the Leafs didn’t drop down to fifth in the draft and stayed where there were. But it was hard to not feel like the wind was taken out of your sails just a bit, when it was clear that Toronto wouldn’t be selecting first.
