The Maple Leafs are in a rough position
with their goaltenders. After James Reimer and Jonas Gustavsson collectively shit the bed this year, and few top-end goalies available heading into the
summer, Toronto are going to be in tough to shore up their goalie situation.
OHL prospect Malcolm Subban has impressed pundits lately, and has moved as high
as #10 in some draft rankings.

PK's little brother is the highest-rated goalie available in the draft, and could turn out to be a damn good NHL 'tender. With
the Leafs picking at number 5, they are in the opportunistic position of being
able to land a hometown goalie prospect with their top pick, something as rare
around these parts as a playoff appearance. If they can sign a veteran to fill
in the gap, the pick could become a home run.
