Erik Gustafsson Traded To Toronto
2 years agoThe Toronto Maple Leafs continued to rework their backline with another move on Tuesday, trading for defenseman Erik Gustafsson. The team gave up fellow blue-liner Rasmus Sandin and also received a 2023 first-round draft pick in the deal. Gustafsson has played a major part in Washington this season due to John Carlson's (face) injury and boasts 38 points through 61 games. He will likely have a tough time replicating the numbers in Toronto, with the Maple Leafs blue line now full of quality. Meanwhile, Sandin, who's also been in fine form this season, should get a bigger role in D.C., which will boost his fantasy value. The 22-year-old has tallied 20 points across 52 outings with 58 shots on goal, 113 hits and 59 blocks.
