Florida Panthers Could Give the Maple Leafs an Incredible Gift Tonight
In what might've been the most puzzling trade of the season, the Maple Leafs sent Rasmus Sandin to the Washington Capitals for a first and Erik Gustafsson.
Kyle Dubas' gamble may have paid off, however.
A Panthers Win Guarantees the Leafs a Top-24 Pick
Nobody expected the record-breaking Bruins to be brought to Game 7 by the eighth-seed Panthers, but here we are.
The implications of tonight's game are massive for the Maple Leafs, as the placement of the first-round pick they acquired for Rasmus Sandin will be decided tonight.
If the Panthers win, the Leafs will be guaranteed a top-24 pick in the draft, which is massive in a class like 2023.
A guy like Dmitri Simashev, Brayden Yager, Samuel Honzek, or Quentin Musty could bolster the Leafs within the next few years, and make them a force in the future.
While the Bruins would definitely be a fun series, it would be a great win for the Leafs to face the Panthers!
