Toronto Maple Leafs: The Draft After Timothy Liljegren

Related Topics: Toronto Maple Leafs

The general consensus is the Toronto Maple Leafs 2017 draft is underwhelming. Again. Sure they got that Timothy Lijegren kid at 17. Sort of fell into their laps. After that? The Leafs selected two more big hulking defencemen and a goalie with bad statistics. A mystery Russian. And a kid from some private school.

Underwhelming

That seems the consensus of every so-called expert or analyst on TSN, Sportsnet or Fan 590. I even hear rumblings from fans and bloggers who cover the team. Everyone is questioning Mark Hunter and the Leafs draft strategy. Two drafts in a row?
