Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!
The 2022 NHL Deadline is coming up on Monday, but no one is waiting for the last minute to get deals done. Here are the trades so far:
Colorado Avalanche trade Drew Helleson (D) and a 2023 2nd to the Anaheim Ducks for Josh Manson (D)
The Ducks got younger, and moved a pending free agent, while the Avalanche added a big name to their defense. This doesn’t affect the Leafs too much, aside from setting the price for adding a rental defender.
Colorado Avalanche trade Tyson Jost (W) to the Minnesota Wild for Nico Sturm (C)
Another move from the Mile High City, this time moving a winger who can’t climb the depth chart for a depth centre.
