It is amazing that Toronto Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe took so long just to figure out what people were saying about two seconds after the Leafs acquired Ryan O’Reilly back in February.
The Toronto Maple Leafs somehow traded just a few draft picks to get not only O’Reilly, but also Noel Acciari, about a month before the NHL Trade Deadline.
Not only was it a fantastic trade that cost about half of what it was expected to take to land O’Reilly, but O’Reilly also came with a double-retained cap hit of about $50 bucks.
