## Resource

Toronto Maple Leafs face a tough decision in the 2026 NHL Draft: prioritize offense with Gavin McKenna or address the need for a top-pairing defenseman. The Leafs offensive talent is strong, but their defense lacks a franchise-altering player. The Athletics mock draft suggests considering a defenseman, given the teams upcoming first-round pick drought and championship aspirations.
