In a trade with the Anaheim Ducks, Brad Treliving decided to give up his 23rd overall pick for the 31st and 58th selections:
With the 31st overall pick, the Leafs chose to select the defenseman Ben Danford.
Treliving talked about the prospect in a press conference and revealed why they drafted him.
The 6-foot-1 right-handed defenseman from Madoc, Ontario is not only intelligent and competitive, he also has a high character that could have an impact in the NHL.
Brad Treliving said:
Last season, the lifelong Leafs fans scored 33 points, including one goal, in 64 games with the Oshawa Generals.
We can't wait to see him on the ice at the Maple Leafs' training camp.
