from Talkin' Buds Leafs Show Hosted by Talkin Buds, Rob Furnish, Ryan Furnish

The Toronto Maple Leafs made it official on night one of the 2026 NHL Draft, selecting Gavin McKenna first overall with a little help from Justin Bieber. We're in full celebration mode as we break down the pick, where McKenna fits into the lineup and why we think he's going to thrive in Toronto. We also get into the rest of the draft night action including trades and top ten picks, then close it out with our thoughts on Matthew Knies, Morgan Rielly, Mike Babcock throwing his wife under the bus and much more.
