After drafting 15th overall last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs had the 44th overall pick today.

Instead of choosing a player, the Toronto Maple Leafs decided to trade the 44th overall pick to the Ottawa Senators for the 59th and 64th overall selections in 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

The Leafs decided to bulk up on draft picks by making a trade with the Senators today, giving them a total of 12 for this draft.
