In a stunning move, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens have reportedly agreed on a blockbuster trade just moments ago. The deal, which involves multiple high-profile players and assets, marks a significant shift for both teams.
The Leafs are sending their star defenseman, Morgan Rielly, to the Canadiens, along with promising young forward Nick Robertson, a 2024 first-round draft pick, and a notable AHL prospect. In return, the Leafs are acquiring Montreal’s goal-scoring phenom Cole Caufield and veteran defenseman David Savard, which should bolster Toronto’s offensive firepower and defensive depth.
