In the 2020 NHL Draft the Toronto Maple Leafs have the chance to draft in the first round for the 52nd time in franchise history; they could also trade away the first-round pick and skip the round entirely as they have done 13 times before.
As of writing, the Maple Leafs have the 15th overall draft pick, acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Kapseri Kapanen. Historically the Leafs aren’t great at handling the responsibility of drafting in the first round, with only 29 picks playing more than 100 games for the Leafs; 14 played over 300.
