Patrick Marleau, 2 Picks Traded to Hurricanes; Maple Leafs Get 6th-Round Pick

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Patrick Marleau to the Carolina Hurricanes in return for a 2020 sixth-round pick, the team announced Saturday.

Hurricanes will also receive a conditional first-rounder in 2020 and a 2020 seventh-rounder.

The move is largely about shedding Marleau's contract. The 39-year-old will count for $6.25 million against the salary cap in 2019-20.
