The Leafs get bigger on second day of NHL draft
(The Star Movies)
 


CHICAGO—Maple Leafs assistant general manager Mark Hunter ran his third draft and if there was a theme, it was “a big, strong guy.” The Leafs took two six-foot-six defenceman on Saturday — and nobody under six-feet tall — on the second and final day of the 2017 NHL draft. Counting Timothy Liljegren, chosen in Friday’s first round, the Leafs took four defencemen with their seven picks.“We took who we thought was the best player at the moment. It seemed like there was more defence in the draft this year,” Hunter said. “We filled some holes.
