Part One of Countdown to Camp covered one of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ fourth-round selections in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and Part Two is hitting on the second.
Nick Abruzzese was drafted 124th overall by the Leafs on June 22, completing the trade that sent Nikita Soshnikov to the St. Louis Blues. Unlike Toronto’s first three selections Nick Robertson, Mikko Kokkonen, and Mikhail Abramov, who were either projected to go earlier than where they were drafted, Abruzzese’s selection came out of left field.
