8. Ty Voit

Age:  18

Height/Weight: 5’9″ 160 lbs.

Position: Left Wing

Shoots: Right

Draft: 5th Round, 153rd Overall 2021

If you want to know what the Toronto Maple Leafs think of this player, consider the following:

They had only three draft picks this year, and they burned one of them on a player who didn’t even play in his draft year, and who, by NHL standards, is a shrimp.

Most teams with only three picks will want to at least have something to show for it.  The Toronto Maple Leafs, however, to their everlasting credit, act like they don’t give a ____ about what anyone thinks.  It’s the main reason I love their current management team.

The Leafs either hit a homerun here or people are going to severely question their sanity in picking a player who didn’t even play and who is (yet another) tiny, offensive minded forward.

Then again, if you credit them with any confidence whatsoever, this is an intriguing pick.  If you can go in the 5th round after a year off, the odds are if you had of played you would have been picked much higher, and this is potentially a steal for the Leafs.

Ty Voit has high-end ability, but after just a single OHL season that he started while 16 and finished while 17, to his credit, his future is anyone’s guess.
