The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired St. Louis Blues captain Ryan O'Reilly and forward Noel Acciari in a blockbuster trade also involving the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.
The Blues receive forward prospect Mikhail Abramov, AHL forward Adam Gaudette, Toronto's first-round pick in 2023, Ottawa's third-round pick in 2023 and Toronto's second-round pick in 2024. St. Louis will also eat 50 per cent of O'Reilly's remaining salary.
The Wild will retain 25 per cent of O'Reilly's total salary as an intermediary in the trade. In exchange, the Maple Leafs will send Minnesota their own fourth-round pick in 2025. Right-wing prospect Josh Pillar is also heading from Minnesota to Toronto to complete the trade.
