The Toronto Maple Leafs have been through an expansion draft recently.

Back when Vegas came into the league, the Toronto Maple Leafs scraped through relatively unscathed, losing just Brendan Leipsic in the draft.

In 2021, the NHL will be adding a 32nd franchise to the fold.

The Seattle Totems, Emeralds, Rainiers, Sockeyes – or whoever they maybe – will be looking to replicate the success of the 2017-18 expansion team, Vegas Golden Knights.
