Kraken's Divisional Rival Makes Massive Trade

The NHL is getting ready for the new season, and teams are scrambling to ensure they are salary cap compliant by 5 pm today.

It's also the final opportunity to place players on waivers before the season kicks off.

In a last-minute move just ahead of the 2:00 p.m. waiver deadline, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks have struck a deal.

TRADE ALERT: The #Canucks have acquired Sam Lafferty from the #MapleLeafs in exchange for a 2024 5th round pick.




Lafferty, who was acquired by the Leafs at last year's Trade Deadline, never quite found his place in their lineup.

This trade opens up a roster spot for either Noah Gregor or Fraser Minten with the Leafs.
