Maple Leafs trade Eric Fehr to the San Jose Sharks
It has been announced today that the Leafs have traded Eric Fehr to the San Jose Sharks.
#Leafs announce they've traded Eric Fehr to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick in the 2020 #NHLDraft. Toronto now holds eight picks in the 2020 NHL Draft.

They got Fehr as depth player insurance, and as part of the deal that sent Frank Corrado to the Penguins because Pittsburgh wanted rid of his inflated contract.
