Maple Leafs Win No.1 Draft Pick, Boston Loses 2026 Asset

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

Toronto won the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery, securing the No.1 overall pick and activating Boston’s protection clause. The Bruins will now receive a first‑round pick in 2027 or 2028 instead of 2026.

Toronto’s lottery win gave the Maple Leafs the top overall pick, allowing them to keep their selection to draft Penn State star Gavin McKenna. Boston’s 2025 trade for Brendan Carlo now pushes the Bruins’ return to either 2027 or 2028 because the pick fell inside the top five, triggering the protection clause. iwanktv.club
