The Toronto Maple Leafs made a blockbuster move on Friday night, acquiring Ryan O’Reilly from the St. Louis Blues.
It was only a matter of time before the Toronto Maple Leafs made a monster trade and it finally happened with the acquisition of Ryan O’Reilly.
Here’s how the trade breaks down:
- Toronto Maple Leafs acquires: Ryan O’Reilly, Noel Acciari and Josh Pillar
- St. Louis Blues acquires: Mikhail Abramov & Adam Gaudette, 2023 1st Round Pick, 2023 3rd Round Pick, 2024 2nd Round Pick (retains 50% of O’Reilly’s contract)
- Minnesota acquires: 2025 4th Round Pick (retains 25% of O’Reilly’s contract)
Three draft picks and two prospects may seem like a lot, but in reality, it’s not a huge haul when you’re in win-now mode.
