NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
Toronto Maple Leafs
The Leafs aren’t going to be making very many picks over the next few years, and it’s going to be really important for them to find players and value in the ones that they do.
So Leafs fans probably won’t love to hear that the decision to take Norwegian center Tinus Luc Koblar was the first of Day 2 that I really didn’t understand. He’s a big, strong, sturdy center who can skate but he scored eight goals at Sweden’s J20 level this year and has a long way to go to have a chance to become a bottom-six option someday. He’s a summer birthday who already has some pro attributes, so I’m sure they’re counting on a steep progression moving forward, but I’m confident they could have got him later and he was ranked No. 56 on NHL Central Scouting’s list of international skaters when they took him at No. 64 among all skaters.
