It’s time for the second part of my mock draft, and the Toronto Maple Leafs will be on the clock.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made solid progress over the past three seasons. After finishing dead last in 2015-16 and earning the first overall pick, they made the playoffs two seasons in a row.
Last year, they selected at 17th overall and picked Timothy Liljegren, who could end up being one of the steals of the draft. Especially after seeing that he was once a projected top three pick.
This year, they pick at 25th overall.
In the first part, we saw Rasmus Dahlin, Andrei Svechnikov, and Filip Zadina go in the top three to Buffalo, Carolina, and Montreal respectively. In this part, we’re going to take a look at how the second half of the first round could shape out.
As the draft moves on, the picks become more unpredictable. So, buckle up.
