Bob McKenzie reveals who the Toronto Maple Leafs will draft 23rd overall
TSN's reporter Bob McKenzie revealed who the Toronto Maple Leafs should draft at the 23rd overall pick.
With the NHL Entry Draft set to go down in less than a month, all experts are trying to predict what players teams will go after, especially in the first round, where all the most talented prospects will be chosen.
What's interesting about his year's draft, is that there's no real consensus for picks 2 to 12.
And with the Leafs not stepping onto the stage until the 23rd rank, there are many interesting possibilities for general manager Brad Treliving.
Bob McKenzie, a reporter specialized in drafts, shared who he believes the Leafs will get: he thinks that Treliving will set his sights on the Finnish defenseman Aron Kiviharju.
The Athletic's Scott Wheeler described Kiviharju's style in a recent paper:
Rachel Doerrie of ESPN made the following comments on the defenseman:
Most people agree that Kiviharju is a wild card that could be selected anywhere from the second half of the first round.
However, Treliving is known to prefer big defensemen. Kiviharju, standing at 5'10", isn't very tall, but he's only 18 years old.
