## Resource

Toronto’s Maple Leafs are locking in on top draft prospect Gavin McKenna as their first-overall pick, with his combine performance sealing his status as the class’s best. GM John Chayka praised his maturity and poise, while McKenna himself embraced pressure as privilege after overcoming a rough season—including an off-ice incident—to finish strong and earn Hobey Baker nomination honors. Analysts highlight his elite playmaking vision and leadership, making him a perfect fit to elevate Toronto’s top line alongside Auston Matthews. With his offensive ceiling and mental toughness, McKenna could be the franchise-changing playmaker the Leafs have been waiting for.
