Toronto Maple Leafs win 2026 NHL Draft lottery, get No. 1 pick
The Toronto Maple Leafs won the 2026 NHL Draft lottery, jumping four spots from fifth to claim the No. 1 overall pick while entering the draw with just an 8.5 percent chance. Toronto finished the season with the fifth-worst record, which gave them those fifth-best odds heading into the lottery. The Edmonton Oilers tried to trade defenseman Darnell Nurse to the Maple Leafs before the lottery, a separate roster development to watch. The No. 1 pick gives Toronto a franchise-caliber asset to draft a top prospect or to package for established players and picks, reshaping the club's short and long term plans.
It's 1 in 59 that the Leafs won the Matthews lottery and this one. If you want to believe that means it's a conspiracy, go ahead. They also lost the McDavid lottery the year before which feels like the one to rig if you're interested in rigging lotteries. Anyways, this isn't a serious conversation
Acting the Fulemin19mrw an event with randomized outcomes produces a randomized outcome
I Hate My Favourite Teams9Imagine the NHL rigging lotteries and not giving the Leafs McDavid and Matthews to Arizona.
Chemmy2I don't care what the odds were this year for the record, but if event A is 1:59 and event B is 1:59, it's not a 1:3481 chance after the first one already hit. The Leafs already won that lottery, it was 1:59 they'd win two lotteries in two tries.
