I’ll admit I’m starting to get tired of writing these opening paragraphs about how close we are getting to draft time, so let’s just get on with this. 

The Leafs are taking Auston Matthews tomorrow night with the first overall pick. We’ve discussed him a ton, and even debated that selection for a second or two. We’ve put together our draft rankings, checked in with everyone else’s, and identified plenty of prospects who could make sense for Toronto later down the line. We’ve talked about trading up, trading down, some “diamonds in the rough” and everything in between.

If you’ve left your draft homework to the last minute, here, it’s time to get reading.
