Leafs Lottery Luck and a Look at the Draft w/ Jason Bukala and Sam McKee

from The JD Bunkis Podcast · host Sportsnet

JD reacts to the Maple Leafs winning the NHL's Draft Lottery and starts to think about what the Maple Leafs may do with the first overall pick. Jason Bukala (9:00), Sportsnet hockey analyst and former Director of Amateur Scouting for the Florida Panthers, breaks down why he thinks the Maple Leafs should use their first overall pick to select Ivar Stenberg over Gavin McKenna. JD also asks Jason about where the draft drops off, if trading down is a viable option for the Leafs, and his mock draft for the rest of the lottery picks, and what Mark Leach, the Leafs Director of Amateur Scouting, covets most. Sam McKee (35:30) of Leafs Talk and Real Kyper and Bourne talks about the mood shift in Leafs nation after winning the draft lottery and who they think the Leafs should select.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
