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

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

Toronto Maple Leafs secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery, triggering the top‑five protection clause and keeping the selection to draft Gavin McKenna. Boston will receive a first‑round pick in 2027 or 2028 instead of 2026.

Toronto’s lottery win means the Bruins lose the 2026 first‑round return from the Brendan Carlo trade. The Leafs will use the pick on Penn State star Gavin McKenna, while Boston’s compensation shifts to a 2027 or 2028 first‑rounder. sport-ipl.my
