The Toronto Maple Leafs, as of right now, still hold the 25th and 30th overall pick in tonight's entry draft in sunny Minnesota. I say as of right now because Brian Burke is eager to trade his magic beans for an established player and rip the headlines back from a conference rival. Whether he steps up, tie-askew, to the lectern to announce a pick or if he sends the smarmy Gary Bettman will probably be decided in the seconds leading up to the pick. If he sticks with both, here's a collection of mock drafts that will hopefully give you an idea of who the Leafs might take. Or they could all be way off base. Either way, feel free to keep up the draft talk here. Any links related to these players can be popped in the comments.
