If the Leafs get 1st pick, they should 100% trade it.
first off; they don't deserve or expected to get it, so it's a free gift.
second; if trade offers can be had which the Leafs get a proven stud Dman and a lower pick than they're better off to use the "win now" approach.
third; Laffy is a LW'er, rarely do teams succeed with having their franchise player being a winger (sorry Ovie).
fouth; Leafs have Robertson and a talented scouting team, so they did not need a "gift" to find successful player.
fifth; the Leafs need to shed salary and if they had 1st pick, they could off load Johnsson or Kerfoot in the trade.
sixth; Leafs can trade Laffy to the Sens, who already have a mini wannabe Leaf team.
