Historically, the 25th overall pick is a terrible selection, so why haven’t the Toronto Maple Leafs traded it yet?
Over the past few years, the Toronto Maple Leafs have drafted pretty well, which is probably why they’re still holding the selection.
Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, Timothy Liljegren, Nick Robertson and Rasmus Sandin are just a few names that have been or are turning into legitimate NHL players and all six of them were drafted in different positions.
Matthews (1st overall) and Marner (4th overall) are the best of the bunch and were selected in the top-five, while Nylander (8th overall) is right behind him.
