With the loss in the first round on Wednesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs will be drafting at position 23, 24 or 25 in 2018.
They will definitely draft after the Anaheim Ducks and Minnesota Wild, based on points, so they can’t do better than 23. If either or both of the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins lose in the second round, the Leafs drop to a position behind those teams, again because of regular-season points. While the points were tied between the Leafs and the Washington Capitals, the Capitals owned the ROW tie-breaker, so the Leafs will not drop behind them if they should exit in the second round.
