Confirmed with Link: LEAFS WIN #1 PICK IN 2026 NHL DRAFT

[Stephen]

It’s beyond BPA.

I think if McKenna was third best they’d take him anyway.

What are the Vegas odds of McKenna going first ?

If McKenna was third best they wouldn’t take him first. He’s the best but people are looking for reasons to be neurotic.

-2500 NOW

 

[HamiltonNHL]

McKenna is the BPA for Jersey sales so Pelley will want him.

For political optics the MLSE board will want him.

-2500 NOW

I have to bet 2500 to win 100 ?

 

[keonsbitterness]

I have to bet 2500 to win 100 ?

For you, only $2.99.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

McKenna is -500

Likely still a money winner but to put up 5000 to win 1000 seems really stupid

 

[The Masters]

 

[darrylsittler27]

Anyone who thinks MLSE won’t take the edgy Canadian with native heritage will be sadly mistaken.

Drafting a D might be more useful, but that’s very hard to know.

What we do know …. the “easy” choice and the politically correct choice are the same so … new GM will press the easy button.

There aren't any Dmen who justify that pick. SJ absolutely needs one but if Toronto could land another first, one may drop quite a bit in this draft.

The Leafs do not need to shed any cap at all. They could theoretically add both Anderson, and Raddysh and still have 8 million left to spend.if they move one of the goalies that number becomes 11-12 million. They are in the best position possible thanks to getting the #1 pick. It fills a glaring need in too 6 winger and leaves all the cap space to go after 1 top end dman, a 3rd line centre ( I like Jenner) and still have plenty to improve the fringes.

I'd argue we really need a#2 C

 

[Budz22]

This made me chuckle.

 

[Daisy Jane]

the luca cereda one is kinda mean, didn't he have a heart condition no one knew about and it ended his career? that was sad

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Looks pretty obvious they're going to pick McKenna. As they should.

 

[thinkblue]

 

[Fogelhund]

McKenna is the BPA

Which is why they will pick him. We agree.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Jeesh Leach has been in MHL 32 years and first time the org he's in has had 1st overall. Puts some perspective on how big it is to win the 1st overall.

"Best possible player." He's saying McKenna without saying McKenna.

 

[Fogelhund]

.weong thread.

 

[thewave]

He needs a fresh haircut, shave and sleep from the look of things.

Gone from Green day to Phil Kessel on holiday.

Won’t that just show he is the favor.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Won’t that just show he is the favor.

It shows how much you need to bet to win a certain amount of money

And the lowest number is the favorite

I understand that and it shows McKenna is the favor.
If the payout is betting 5000 and getting 10k. That’s probably not a good bet.

The guy we're taking, also McKenna is there too....
