Possible Winger Options for the Toronto Maple Leafs at 2024 NHL Entry Draft

The Toronto Maple Leafs have the 23rd overall pick in this year's NHL draft. They might trade it away between now and June 28th, but for this article, I will assume that they are keeping it.

The Toronto Maple Leafs hope to get a prospect as good as Easton Cowan or better in the 2024 NHL draft.

Cowan was taken with the 28th overall pick in last year's draft and has become a promising prospect for the Leafs. Selecting any prospect late in the first round is hit or miss, and sometimes, a team will get lucky.

After being drafted by the Leafs, Cowan registered 34 goals and 62 assists for 96 points in 54 games for the London Knights this season in the OHL. He helped the Knights make it to the Memorial Cup but came up short in the championship game.

Cowan is expected to receive a long look during training camp in September and could even get into a few NHL games to start the 2024-25 season. (All Stats from eliteprospects.com)

Once the Toronto Maple Leafs make their first-round selection, they will not have another pick until the fourth round, so they need to make sure that their first pick in the 2024 NHL draft is a good one. In my previous article, I wrote about which center or defense prospects the Leafs should draft. In this article, I will highlight which wingers the Leafs should consider drafting.
