The draft is over — and the Leafs walked away with the best player in it.
On this week's episode of The Leafs Lab Podcast, we start with a breakdown of the Leafs' draft class (1:50) before getting into everything Gavin McKenna — why this kid is the real deal, what makes him perfect for this market, and what the early top six could look like heading into free agency (6:57).
From there, we say goodbye to Brandon Carlo (27:10). Then it's straight into the free agency preview — centre targets including Pettersson, Hayton, and Jenner (30:12), before pivoting to the biggest trade conversation in Leafs Land right now: should the Leafs go all in on Zach Werenski, and what would it actually take to get him? (48:27)
We round things out with a look at the winger market — Marchment, Bjorkstrand, Arvidsson, and Tolvanen (57:50) — the defensive free agent options and what happens with Morgan Rielly (1:11:30) — and close with the goalie question nobody can agree on: do the Leafs go big on Sergei Bobrovsky? (1:17:49)
The offseason is just getting started. Let's get into it.
