Episode Details

The Toronto Maple Leafs hold the top pick in the upcoming draft, a decade after landing Auston Matthews — and all signs point to selecting Gavin McKenna, a major move. With seven picks lined up for 2026 (potentially shifting via trades), they’re eyeing another Knies-style gem — a late-first or second-round talent with high upside. Their focus includes big, physical centers like Adam Andersson or Rudolfs Berzkalns, plus shooters like Giorgos Pantelas or Adam Nemec, hoping to find the next cornerstone to build around.
