Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star writes that the Maple Leafs could trade the 4th overall pick – although it’s highly unlikely.
“We’re open for everything,” said Mark Hunter, the Leafs director of player personnel who will be overseeing the draft. “As of right now, we’ll likely draft with the fourth pick. But we’ll see what happens.” (Toronto Star)
