The Toronto Maple Leafs have been struggling significantly in the NHL, securing only five wins in their last 22 games since February 25. This poor performance is critical for the Boston Bruins, who are set to receive the Maple Leafs' first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. However, the pick is top-five protected, meaning if the Maple Leafs secure a top-five selection in the draft lottery, they will retain their pick. As of now, the Maple Leafs have a 44% chance of landing the sixth pick and a 14.2% chance of the seventh. This situation has worsened for the Bruins, who now have only a 58.2% chance of obtaining the pick, a significant decline from earlier predictions.
