Toronto Maple Leafs | Countdown to McKenna | Bobrovsky, Knies & More

The Toronto Maple Leafs are just days away from selecting first overall in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft and we've officially dubbed it "McKenna Week" on the podcast. We discuss our excitement for the expected arrival of Gavin McKenna and why we think he'll be a great fit in Toronto. Next we move onto the Sergei Bobrovsky rumours and why it might not be such a bad idea for the Leafs to take him on, Brady Tkachuk bailing on the Ottawa Senators for the Florida Panthers, the Matthew Knies trade rumours that won't go away, and Mike Babcock officially being named head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.
