Vancouver Canucks Centre Traded to Toronto Maple Leafs
The Vancouver Canucks week in review has brought about an Aatu Räty trade announcement, as he has been shipped to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forwards Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr. A player who was supposed to be an important part of the 2023 Bo Horvat trade will see a change of scenery …
The Vancouver Canucks have traded centre Aatu Räty to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forwards Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr. Räty, who was waived during the Canucks' week, had a successful faceoff percentage last year but struggled to secure a regular roster spot with the team. The Maple Leafs acquired Räty for a relatively low salary cap hit of $850,000, and are given a 30-day period to send him down to the minors.
The trade comes as part of the fallout from the Canucks' 2023 Bo Horvat trade, where they lost both Räty and Anthony Beauvillier. The Canucks are acquiring two young forwards, with Quillan's speed and defensive playmaking abilities and Buhr's potential NHL potential.
