## Resource

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Brian Burke for a conversation on the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Burke shares his thoughts on Auston Matthews and why he believes the Leafs captain still wants to stay in Toronto. He also weighs in on the draft lottery and what landing the No. 1 pick could mean for the franchise —calling it a complete game changer. Burke explains why he would aggressively shop the pick, citing the lack of a clear-cut top prospect in this year’s draft, before telling the legendary story of how he landed both Sedin twins in Vancouver, while giving credit to Marc Crawford and Thomas Gradin. Additionally, Burke discusses Craig Berube’s future behind the Leafs bench, outlines his biggest offseason priorities for the organization, and reveals that if Toronto ultimately keeps the top pick, he believes the selection should be Gavin McKenna. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
