The Toronto Maple Leafs made a trade for an elusive right-handed defenseman today, acquiring Conor Timmins from the Arizona Coyotes.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans will of course make plenty of the fact he’s another Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds alumni, given Kyle Dubas’ connection with the team.
However, this deal is actually a really smart one in terms of adding a right-shot defenseman cheap while not really losing any depth.
Curtis Douglas was the forward headed the other way, and in all fairness to him, wasn’t looking likely to crack the Toronto Maple Leafs roster anytime soon, with his size really his only calling card.
