Kings trade Toffoli to Canucks for package including 2nd-round pick
The Vancouver Canucks have acquired forward Tyler Toffoli from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for forward Tim Schaller, the rights to prospect Tyler Madden, a 2020 second-round pick, and a conditional fourth-round selection in 2022, the Canucks announced Monday.
Los Angeles will receive the 2022 fourth-rounder if Toffoli, a pending unrestricted free agent, re-signs with the Canucks, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
The Kings aren't retaining any of Toffoli's $4.6-million cap hit because the inclusion of Schaller helps balance the salaries, adds LeBrun.
Toffoli notched the first outdoor hat trick in NHL history during Saturday's Stadium Series game between the Kings and the Colorado Avalanche. He's collected 18 goals and 34 points in 58 games this season.
The 27-year-old had spent his entire career with the Kings, helping them win the franchise's second Stanley Cup in 2014. Los Angeles drafted him 47th overall in 2010.
