Toronto Maple Leafs acquired defender Mark Giordano and striker Colin Blackwell from Seattle’s Kraken against twoe tour and a choice of 3e tour, according to several media. The Kraken also retains the Giordano salary at the end of the season, when it becomes an autonomous player.

In order to give space advantage under the salary cap, the Leafs have also been active on the other fronts.

Toronto in effect submits guard Petr Mrazek and attacker Kyle Clifford to the ballot. They also agreed with the guard Harri Sateri, a Finn who played in the KHL this season and who will therefore end the season in the LNH.

Petr Mrazek

On Saturdays, however, he must also go through the ballot before being able to report to the Leafs. The first choice at the Sharks nursery, Maintain aged 32 years, showed a file of 14-16-5, an average of 2.02 and an efficiency of, 926 with the Siberia of Novosibirsk, in the KHL, this season.

Finland also considers the gold medal for Pékin Games this winter.

Mrazek, guarded the team’s best paid $ 3.8 million per season up to 2024, knows the difficulties this season, with an average of 3.48 and an efficiency of, 884. Despite these figures, his record is set at 10 wins and six losses.

Later on Sunday, the Torontoers exchanged defender Travis Dermott for the Canucks against a choice of 3e Tour to repechage. Dermott, 25 years old, is a former choice of 2e Tour (34e in total) used in the third duo of the Leafs since their arrival in the LNH.

The events are based on series in the Atlantic Division. The other three teams that math matrically and participate have each proceeded to a major acquisition: Claude Giroux and Ben Chiarot in Florida, Brandon Hagel in Tampa and Hampus Lindholm in Boston.

The pressure is obviously strong on the Leafs, who have not always won an elimination round since 2004. Their general manager, Kyle Dubas, has been in office for four years now.
