The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired veteran defenseman Mark Giordano from the Seattle Kraken and forward Colin Blackwell in exchange for three draft picks including two second rounders and a third.

As we approach the NHL’s trade deadline, it’s common for Toronto Maple Leafs fans to look back at the long history of trades their franchise has made in its 105 year history.

Sheldon Keefe has been head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs for over 100 games and yet tonight will mark the very first time that he finds himself behind the bench in a game against the Boston Bruins. What a strange few years it’s been. Despite the fact that these two teams haven’t played each…
