The 2019 NHL Draft is now over and in the record books. The Toronto Maple Leafs made seven selections - skipping round six - and came out with several good players, but no one who will be making their Leafs debut in the next couple of seasons. Now that the rebuild is over, it’s long term prospects rather than immediate impacts.
