Maple Leafs trade Engvall to Islanders for 3rd-round pick

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded forward Pierre Engvall to the New York Islanders for a third-round pick in the 2024 draft, the Leafs announced Tuesday.

Engvall, 26, potted 12 goals and added nine assists in 58 games this season.

The Swede tallied 83 points in four seasons with the Leafs after they selected him in the seventh round of the 2014 draft.

The swap came shortly after Toronto made two other trades Tuesday, acquiring defenseman Erik Gustafsson from the Washington Capitals and blue-liner Luke Schenn from the Vancouver Canucks.

Toronto has been busy leading up to the trade deadline. Kyle Dubas and his front office also acquired defenseman Jake McCabe and forward Sam Lafferty on Monday after reeling in forwards Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari on Feb. 17.
