Remember how much fun it was when the Toronto Maple Leafs won the NHL Draft Lottery in 2016? The same thing needs to happen one decade later.
On April 30, 2016, the Leafs won the NHL Draft Lottery and the Auston Matthews sweepstakes. For years, this organization had been without a number-one centre, but thanks to a lottery, they now had a franchise changing player. For the past 10 years, Matthews has broken multiple team records, has won the Hart Trophy and has been everything you could ever hope for with a first-overall pick.
As we all know, things are not going too great this year, but it doesn't have to be the end of the world.
