Toronto Maple Leafs acquire Nick Foligno, Stefan Nosen in three-team trade
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a massive splash acquiring forwards Nick Foligno and Stefan Nosen in a three-team trade.
Much like the trade of David Savard yesterday, the Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets brought in a third team to eat some of the money.
Here’s how the deal breaks down, according to the TSN’s Frank Seravalli:
- Toronto acquires Nick Foligno at 25% of his salary from Columbus and Stefan Nosen from San Jose
- Columbus acquires Toronto’s 2021 1st round pick, Toronto’s 2022 4th round pick while retaining 50% of Foligno’s salary
- San Jose acquires Toronto’s 2021 4th round pick while retaining 25% of Foligno’s salary.
#Leafs receive: Nick Foligno (at 25% of cap hit) and Stefan Noesen. #CBJ receive: TOR 2021 1st round pick, TOR 2022 4th round pick, retain 50% of Foligno's cap hit/salary. #sjsharks receive: TOR 2021 4th round pick, retain 25% of Foligno's cap hit/salary.
Hearing the Toronto Maple #Leafs have traded for Nick Foligno.
Foligno, 33, has appeared in 42 games with the Blue Jackets this year scoring seven goals and 16 points. He remains, however, an elite defensive forward providing defense at a 12 percent rate above league average.
