2026 NHL Draft: Final Rankings and Mock Drafts
None seemed to be ranked in a range that made sense for the picks Toronto has now, but if the Leafs somehow get a pick or two more in that range...

There are some interesting older defensemen who are re-entering the draft this year, including some that should be familiar to those who read these profiles last year.
Thursday's FTB: Today needs to work harder than yesterday for excitement
We have the hunger for trades now.
2026 NHL Draft: Trading for Picks AND Players
There are some other creative trades the Leafs could make going into the draft to both acquire more picks and acquire NHL players to help right now.
2026 NHL Draft Profiles: Re-Entry Forwards
There aren't many high level re-entry forwards this year, but there are a few players with pro-compatible skills that could make for interesting depth.
Wednesday's FTB: Trades!
Condolences to everyone who agonized over a mock draft.

Who can the Leafs turn into prospects?
2026 NHL Draft Profiles: Late Round Defensemen
Toronto tends to draft defensemen in later rounds who I've never even heard of before, but just in case here are some I like who aren't really ranked by anyone.
Tuesday's FTB: Goalies, defencemen and forwards
The Leafs want it all.
2026 NHL Draft: What Trading Down from First Overall Would Look Like
No, I'm not saying Toronto should do this. But if they want to, what kind of return would they get from other teams in a pure pick trade?
2026 NHL Draft Profiles: Late Round Forwards
There's quite a few forwards who could still be around late in the draft that I like, and as you can imagine most of them are smaller but have interesting skills.
Monday's FTB: Is this the summer of the big trade?
There's no free agents, and last year's summer of everyone re-signs their own guys, just, you know, with the one exception, was pretty dull.
2026 NHL Draft Profile: Brek Liske
He will be one of the more interesting defenseman with two-way potential outside of the first round in this year's draft.
2026 NHL Draft Profile: Yelisei Ryabykin
A young and relatively unknown Russian defenseman has a solid foundation of skills that have me interested in him as a long term project.
Weekend FTB: Raddysh is nice, now what?
The trouble with doing something good is we just want more of that.
Toronto Marlies win the Calder Cup
The Marlies win it four games to one against the Chicago Wolves tonight in front of a max capacity crowd at the Coliseum.

That's an upgrade on defence, but is he a true 1D?
2026 NHL Draft Profile: Alan Shaikhlislamov
Shaikhlislamov is very young, but has decent size and plays like a hyper-aggressive wrecking ball that could be honed into an interesting power forward.
Friday's FTB: Marlies need another shot at the Cup
And tonight's the night. This is the AHL, there is no such thing as rest.
2026 NHL Draft Profile: Adam Valentini
A last minute change in his commitment from Kitchener in the OHL to Michigan in the NCAA, plus some size concerns, have driven down his draft hype. I still like him, especially if he falls into the middle rounds.

Vegas also named their new coach yesterday.
