The rebuilding Leafs also have the 30th, 31st and 57th picks among 12 selections in this week's draft. They've also got three second-round picks, plus their first-round pick, among their 2017 draft picks; all are a result of the selling off of parts over the past two years.

The question is whether some of those picks either this week or next year all become Maple Leafs prospects, or are some of them dealt away in trades to upgrade the team?

Veteran Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello said Monday his team is ready for both options.

"Certainly we're ready to draft -- [Leafs draft guru] Mark Hunter and his group have done a tremendous job -- they’re ready," Lamoriello said over the phone. "But if opportunities come about, you certainly have to be open to them."

The bottom line is that the Leafs are open for business.
