Note: The Leafs don't own the 30th pick anymore due to the Frederik Andersen trade, but the SB Nation NHL Mock Draft was executed before the trade. This player would work at 31st overall too.
With the 30th pick in the 2016 NHL Draft the Toronto Maple Leafs are proud to select from the Shawinigan Cataractes of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, defensemen Samuel Girard.
When we were called upon for the first overall pick in this year's SB Nation NHL Mock Draft, the choice was easy. It had to be Auston Matthews. With the last pick in the mock draft, the decision wasn't so simple.
