Description

The Leafs don’t need #1, so the leafs should trade down from #1 to #6 to draft a heavily needed RHD in Jamie Drysdale. The Leafs can’t trade with the Senators (picks 3 and 5) and the Red Wings (pick 4) because they are both in the same division as the Leafs, and giving a potential franchise-changing player to a team in your division isn’t good.
———
This is, of course, if the Leafs don’t win against the Blue Jackets in the qualifying round and win the 1st overall pick.
———
Ignore everything outside of the trade.

I’m not a Leafs fan, so I may not be 100% right on what the Leafs need.
