The Toronto Maple Leafs obviously don’t have a first round pick this year, but the draft is still an exciting time.
The story of this year’s draft is the one-two punch of Jack Hughes, a small but incredibly talented centre, and Kaapo Kakko, a pure goal scorer hailing from Finland.
Without a first rounder, the Leafs will likely be quiet, but that doesn’t detract from the fun of draft night. The stars of tomorrow will be selected, and there will is always the chance of a trade – or ten!
Despite the Leafs having no pick, the first round of the NHL Entry Draft is must-watch TV and one of the highlights of the NHL schedule.
