Maple Leafs Win No.1 Draft Pick, Delaying Bruins’ Return

Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Toronto Maple Leafs won the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery, securing the No.1 overall pick and keeping the selection to draft Gavin McKenna. Boston will now receive a first‑round pick in 2027 or 2028 instead of 2026.

The Leafs’ victory in the draft lottery triggered the top‑five protection clause on the pick owed to Boston, keeping the selection for Toronto to draft Penn State star Gavin McKenna. As a result, the Bruins’ wait for a first‑round return from the March 2025 trade for Brendan Carlo extends to either 2027 or 2028. truewildgame.online
