The Toronto Maple Leafs make their first round pick in 2017!

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been looking for help on the blue line and their draft selection reflected that. 

The Maple Leafs have selected Timothy Liljegren at the number 17 overall spot in the 2017 National Hockey League Entry Draft, and this may be a huge steal for the Leafs.

Prior to the season Timothy Liljegren was slated to be a top-5 pick in the draft, but a change of team saw a slight stutter in his performance resulting in him falling down the draft. That being said, many feel his falling down the draft may have been a mistake from other NHL teams.

There was some belief that the Lightning could look to acquire him earlier in the draft, however the Lightning traded that pick in the expansion draft resulting in Timothy Liljegren falling to the Maple Leafs.
