The Toronto Maple Leafs weren’t involved, but the NHL saw a very big trade this week. It is very weird to have a high-profile trade happen in the middle of the Stanley Cup Final, however here we are.
On June 6th, a three-team-trade took place between the Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings. The Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans are still waiting for the first move from their new GM.
There were plenty of moving parts in this deal. The Flyers sent former seventh overall pick, Ivan Provorov and Hayden Hodgson to the Kings in exchange for Cal Petersen, Sean Walker, Helge Grans and LA’s 2024 second-round pick.
