Toronto Maple Leafs Draft Oshawa Generals Defenseman Ben Danford 31st Overall

In a move that surprised many fans, the Toronto Maple Leafs have decided to bolster their defensive prospects by selecting Ben Danford with the 31st overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. Standing at 6-foot-1, Danford is a promising young defenseman who showcased his skills with the Oshawa Generals in the OHL.

Danford’s performance in the OHL caught the attention of NHL scouts, as he tallied one goal and 33 points in 64 games with the Generals. Known for his defensive prowess and strategic play on the ice, Danford was ranked 54th in Bob McKenzie’s final draft rankings, making him a steal for the Maple Leafs at the 31st spot.

The Maple Leafs acquired the 31st overall pick earlier in the draft night, making a trade that saw them give up the 23rd overall selection along with the 58th pick. This strategic move highlights the Leafs’ commitment to building a strong roster for the upcoming season and investing in promising young talent like Danford.
