Should Leafs consider Ivar Stenberg with first overall pick?

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Leafs' top draft pick and the potential of Ivar Stenberg versus Gavin McKenna, alongside coaching rumors.

Toronto Maple Leafs fans face a bittersweet twist as Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights reach the Stanley Cup Final. With the Leafs now armed with a top draft pick, Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti unpack whether a draft lottery win outweighs watching Marner chase a Conn Smythe with Vegas. The hosts question if rising star Ivar Stenberg could upend consensus No. 1 pick Gavin McKenna in the upcoming NHL Draft and spotlight a strong performance by Leafs prospect Tinas Luke Kobler at the World Championship. Coaching rumors intensify, as the search for Toronto’s next bench boss narrows—will the Leafs pick a first-time NHL head coach or rely on experience?
