Maple Leafs Keep No. 1 Pick, Bruins Wait for Future Draft Slot

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

The 2026 NHL Draft Lottery saw the Toronto Maple Leafs win the No. 1 pick, triggering the top‑five protection clause and keeping the selection for 2026. The Boston Bruins now receive a first‑round pick in 2027 or 2028 instead.

Toronto’s lottery win keeps the No. 1 overall pick for 2026, as the Maple Leafs secure the chance to draft Gavin McKenna. Boston, whose trade for Brendan Carlo promised a first‑round return, will now receive that pick in either 2027 or 2028. mchezo.co.za
