The Maple Leafs have selected Brandon Lisowsky with their last pick, a late seventh-rounder. The forward with the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL is 5’9” and listed at 180 lbs. He seems to have tumbled hard down the draft rankings where he was everywhere from 53 to 136 on the lists cited on Elite Prospects. Nothing like a small scoring forward to send everyone running to a “safer” pick. He is a left-shooting LW.
Lisowksy had 58 points in 68 games in his second full WHL season, and that’s a lot of scoring for a seventh-round pick.
The Saskatoon Blades have many key figures contributing to their success this season, and one guy, in particular, is 17-year-old forward Brandon Lisowsky.
