## Resource

Jeff Marek is joined by Brian Burke to break down the Toronto Maple Leafs winning the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery and what it means for the future of the franchise, including how John Chayka and Mats Sundin approach this pivotal moment. The conversation shifts to the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes continue to roll through the second round, before Steven Ellis joins to preview the upcoming NHL Draft, discuss top prospect Gavin McKenna, who could go first overall, and how the rest of the draft could shake out. #TheSheet #NHL #MapleLeafs #LeafsNation #NHLDraft #NHLDraftLottery #StanleyCupPlayoffs #Avalanche #GoAvsGo #Hurricanes #TakeWarning #GavinMcKenna #Hockey #SportsTalk SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/ 👍🏼 Ninja: https://www.sharkninja.ca/ninja-crispi-pro-6-in-1-countertop-glass-air-fryer-rose-quartz/AS101CRS.html?utm_source=Meta&utm_medium=Paid+Social&utm_campaign=H1NinjaCrispi&utm_content=NinjaEN&dwvar_AS101CRS_color=cdb9b8 Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!
