The Toronto Maple Leafs traded their first-round picks for the 2027 and 2028 NHL Drafts to the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers in March 2025. After winning the No. 1 overall selection for 2026, the original protection conditions for the 2027 and 2028 picks were negated. The NHL ruled that the Flyers receive the 2027 pick while the Bruins get the 2028 pick, but if Toronto’s 2027 pick falls in the top 10, they can choose which team receives it. This unusual circumstance adds complexity to the Leafs’ draft strategy moving forward.
