Last year, Toronto drafted three defensemen in the fourth round or later. Brad Treliving seems to like taking swings on certain kinds of defensemen, so I looked at some options that I think could make sense for the Leafs that I also like.

One medium-sized trade and an AHL champion.

What happened to Bobby McMann this year?

There are several forward prospects not ranked very highly, or at all, by almost any scouting outlet who I think would make for great swings in the later rounds.

Maybe Brad will do a thing. Maybe not.

Goalies are voodoo, so let's look at some of the top names and more interesting goalie prospects who will be available in this year's draft.

Agafonov is one of the top defensemen out of Russia this year, with very strong defense and physicality but question marks about how good his offense can be.

Just not a stupid thing.

Annborn is one of the more interesting Swedish defense prospects in this draft, with a more complete all-around game than others I've been profiling but some question marks on how much projection he has in improving his skills.

One week to the draft, the trades should heat up.

Rattus Maximum Victoriam

Limatov is a big, mobile defenseman out of Russia who has a lot of skill as a puck mover but is more of a long-term project to fully realize his potential.

Time to go shopping.

Barnhill might be my favourite prospect in this year's draft who fits Toronto's type of big, physical defensive defenseman since he can also skate well and has intriguing puck moving potential.

Back-to-back Cup wins. Now, let the offseason begin, please.

"It is in the building."

Engle is an interesting mix of size, skating, and two-way potential that hasn't been realized to a high level yet, who feels like a great third-round swing to me.

It could be.

Svrcek may not be the most highly skilled player I am profiling this year, but he is still very fun to watch because of his high speed, pace, energy and tenacity that seems ideal as a third-line play-driver and supporting winger.

Not a lot. Two games at most of the SCF.

Hillström is a player for people who loved Fraser Minten. He's a big, solid, smart two-way pure centre with skill to help facilitate and connect offense even if it doesn't generate goals and points for himself.

Back to fabulous Edmonton we go.

Paupanekis seems like an ideal third line centre candidate with a mix of size, physical play on both sides of the puck, and defense that make him seem like a solid bet as a third or even second round pick.

It's nice that the Leafs aren't actually in on one of these for once.

Or why you might not get news too quickly this June.
