CONOR TIMMINS TRADED TO TORONTO
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired defenseman Conor Timmins from the Arizona Coyotes for forward Curtis Douglas.
What does it give the Toronto Maple Leafs
In Timmins, the Maple Leafs land a talented defenseman who has been beset by injury. A former top prospect with the Colorado Avalanche, Timmins hopes to get a fresh start with his new organization.
What does it give the Arizona Coyotes
In Douglas, the Coyotes acquire a mountain of a man at 6'9", 245 pounds! The 22-year-old could see time with Arizona at some point this season, especially if they trade away a few veterans down the stretch.
Fantasy impact
Timmins is a good defenseman who has fantasy upside, but wait and see how Toronto plans on using him before picking him up. Douglas is going to make a living as a bottom-six forward at the NHL level, so there is no need to pick him up in most leagues.
