Ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft, Pierre McGuire joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to preview what should be a monumental night for the Maple Leafs.
McGuire explains why he believes the draft is top-heavy before breaking down what Toronto is getting in presumptive first-overall pick Gavin McKenna. He discusses realistic expectations for McKenna's rookie season, why he believes the superstar prospect should contend for the Calder Trophy, and compares his long-term ceiling to Patrick Kane.
The conversation also covers Chase Reid, Carson Carels, whether the Leafs should even entertain trading Matthew Knies, Jim Hiller's hiring as head coach, Darren Raddysh's addition, Toronto's goaltending outlook, and the one player McGuire would be calling about immediately if he were GM John Chayka: Mason McTavish.
