Maple Leafs Win No.1 Draft Pick, Bruins Lose 2026 Asset

Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The 2026 NHL Draft Lottery gave Toronto the No.1 overall pick, activating the top‑five protection clause and sending Boston’s 2026 first‑round selection into 2027 or 2028.

Toronto’s lottery win means the Maple Leafs keep the top pick to draft Penn State star Gavin McKenna. Boston, which had hoped for a 2026 first‑round return from a 2025 trade, will now receive a first‑round pick in either 2027 or 2028 instead. mchezo.co.za
