Breaking news tonight, as the St. Louis Blues have traded their captain Ryan O'Reilly.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman first reported the news but it's now confirmed, as O'Reilly has been acquired by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

We have acquired Ryan O'Reilly & Noel Acciari in a three-team trade with St. Louis & Minnesota.

STL receives Mikhail Abramov & Adam Gaudette, TOR's 1st round pick in '23, OTT's 3rd round pick in '23 & TOR's 2nd round pick in '24. MIN receives TOR's 4th round pick in '25.

Toronto also announced they acquired former Bruins forward Noel Acciari, as well as the Blues retaining 50% and the Wild 25% of O'Reilly's $7.5 million cap hit.

This trade makes the Atlantic Division a lot more interesting with the Maple Leafs trailing Boston for first.

Does this put pressure on Don Sweeney and the Bruins to make a substantial move?
