The Toronto Maple Leafs Announce A Major Trade
Yesterday, following their 4-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes, the Toronto Maple Leafs swiftly addressed their defensive weaknesses with a late-night trade.
They re-acquired right-handed defenseman Ilya Lybushkin from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a third-round pick.
With assistance from the Carolina Hurricanes in salary retention, the Leafs secured Lybushkin's playoff-style play and physicality to bolster their blue line.
Lyubushkin will go to TOR with 75 per cent retained. Ducks get a 3rd, Hurricanes get a 6th
This move is expected to provide support to defenseman TJ Brodie and signifies the Leafs' proactive approach as they aim to strengthen their defensive lineup for the playoffs.
