If you don’t follow prospects especially closely before the Leafs draft them, you probably have a draft day experience a little like mine. When the Leafs pick somebody, you Google him, and then you look for smart people to tell you it was a good pick.
Happily, lots of people I trust on this sort of thing really liked the Leafs’ 2019 draft. Mikko Kokkoken was a particular standout; former blogboss Scott Wheeler liked him so much he had him fourth (!) on his ranking of Leaf prospects outside the NHL under age 23, behind only Rasmus Sandin, Timothy Liljegren, and Jeremy Bracco.
