And it is huge. That is a lot of players

Yay! The best find of the season, the bright unexpected light on defence is coming back!

The Leafs can still sign him, and he becomes UFA on July 1.

A numerical coincidence that illustrates there are many paths to the same destination.

Allow me to introduce you all to the elder statesman of this year's draft group for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who has a bit of size, snarl, and skating as a two-way defenseman.

Dev Camps start to open.

Toronto's 2026 draft class is in the books and they made a LOT of picks. Here are my quick thoughts on each of the picks individually but also in their draft strategy as a whole.

The draft hangover needs to go away fast, as free agency decisions are on the clock.

Today will take even longer!

The Leafs took a guy I had on my late round watch list most of the season and who juuuuuuuust missed the cut to be included on my listicle for late round forwards.

A last second trade got the Leafs another pick.

The Leafs take a teammate of Zach Olsen in Cooper Williams, who will be a reclamation project after struggling compared to expectations going into this season.

The second goalie taken today.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Toronto finishes their flurry of third round picks by taking a Finnish goalie.

For the first time, possibly ever, the Leafs had too many righties.

He is never too much man.

Toronto took a guy that teams hate to play against, genuinely. If you want a guy who can be an energy checker and a rat, he's a fun one.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have taken Ethan MacKenzie with the 69th overall pick in the third round of the 2026

There were some surprise picks in the first round, which means some guys I wouldn't have expected to be available in the second round suddenly are. The more players get pushed down, the clearer it is who will be available when Toronto's next pick comes up.

Elite, elite, elite.

Wendel, Auston, and ...?

Another pick!

All the information you need if you want to watch either/both days of the 2024 NHL draft in Vegas this year. It will start at 7 pm EST on Friday, with day two starting at 11:30 am EST.

What even are goalies? I have no idea, but here are ten of them whose names may come up this weekend.
