Immediately following last night’s game, the Toronto Maple Leafs made a trade for Jack Campbell and Kyle Clifford, sending 24 year old fourth liner Trevor Moore, a 2020 3rd rounder (originally Columbus’), and a conditional 2021 3rd that can be come a 2nd if Clifford re-signs or the Leafs make the playoffs and Campbell wins six games.
This clearly takes the Leafs out of the running for Alex Georgiev, who came with a much higher price tag. The higher price tag makes sense, as he’s younger, more cost controlled, and quite frankly better than Campbell. However that doesn’t matter anymore, what matters now is finding a trade partner for Georgiev, as Toronto was the closest fit.
