In fact, the Toronto Maple Leafs have higher odds of drafting fourth than they do first, second or third. As discomforting as that might seem, it’s not going to be a total loss.
Should the Toronto Maple Leafs decide they want to take another highly talented forward they’ll have two to choose from.
Cape Breton Screaming Eagles forward Pierre-Luc Dubois and London Knights forward Matthew Tkachuk are in the second tier class behind Patrik Laine and Jesse Puljujarvi in the 2016 NHL Draft. Getting either of those players shouldn’t be a disappointment for Toronto Maple Leafs fans if fourth is where they end up selecting.
