The Toronto Maple Leafs have made their major splash before the NHL's trade deadline.
As first reported by TSN's Frank Seravalli, the Maple Leafs have landed Columbus Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno on the eve of the NHL's team-to-team transaction freeze.
Toronto will send its 2021 first-round draft selection to Columbus in exchange for the veteran forward, in addition to two fourth-round draft picks. One of those selections will be diverted to the San Jose Sharks, who have agreed to take on salary in order to complete the deal.
As a result, Foligno will work on 25 percent of his $5.
