17. Toronto Maple Leafs – Nic Hague (D, Mississauga Steelheads, OHL)
Personally, I feel like the writing is on the wall when it comes down to Hague and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
A native of Kitchener, Ontario, Hague grew up a Leafs fan and he fits the bill of what the Leafs need. He has tremendous size at 6’6 and 214 lbs. He’s strong in the offensive zone, with 46 points through 65 games, and he’s sound defensively.
There are many different defensemen the Leafs could snag up this year, but don’t be surprised to hear the Leafs call Hague’s name on draft day.
