"The Bruins have a chance to end up with a top-10 pick thanks to the Maple Leafs' miserable season, which saw them finish bottom of the Atlantic Division."
"Toronto's odds of keeping the pick in 2026 stand at 41.9 percent, while the Bruins have a 58.1 percent chance of receiving it if it falls outside the top five."
"If the Maple Leafs end up in the top five, their 2026 pick is protected, which complicates the Bruins' potential to receive a pick in 2027."
"The 2027 pick owed to the Flyers is top-10 protected, creating a unique situation for the Maple Leafs if they secure a top-five pick in 2026."
The NHL Draft Lottery will occur tonight, with the Bruins watching closely due to a 2025 trade with the Maple Leafs. Boston traded Brandon Carlo to Toronto, receiving a conditional 2026 first-round pick. Toronto's poor season gives the Bruins a 58.1% chance of receiving this pick if it falls outside the top five. If Toronto's pick is protected in 2026, the Bruins could receive a 2028 unprotected first-round pick instead, depending on future draft outcomes.
