The Toronto Maple Leafs have won the Draft Lottery, securing the first overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. Justin Bourne and Sam McKee react to last night's development and discuss what it means for the team's offseason direction. Nick Kypreos joins the show (13:17) to share his take on what the Leafs should do with the pick, whether it changes the plan for Auston Matthews or Craig Berube, and whether Mats Sundin will push for countryman Ivar Stenberg at the top of the draft. Later, former NHL scout Jason Bukala stops by (28:54) to discuss what the lottery win means for John Chayka, the trade value of the No. 1 pick, and why he has Stenberg ahead of Gavin McKenna on his big board.
