Two Maple Leafs Officially Traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins

NHL Insider Chris Johnston first reported the news, stating both Timmins & Dewar are being moved to the Penguins, traded from the Leafs to Pittsburgh, the current team of Toronto's former GM, Kyle Dubas.

The move is part of a three-team deal with the Boston Bruins for defenseman Brandon Carlo, who have acquired Fraser Minten and a first round pick, according to Frank Seravalli.

Boston moves Carlo, who has spent his entire nine-year NHL career after dealing fellow Bruins lifer Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers in a separate deal.

Timmins, 26, has two goals and eight points in 51 games this season for Toronto.

Dewar, 25, has three points in 31 games this season for Toronto.

Toronto has traded two of their top prospects in Fraser Minten & Nikita Grebenkin, who was traded earlier in the day to the Philadelphia Flyers in a deal to acquire center Scott Laughton.

The Toronto Maple Leafs did not appear to trade fellow top prospects Easton Cowan and Ben Danford, choosing to hold on to some of their more internally valued prospects.

A defensive defenseman, Carlo, 28, has a goal and nine points in 63 games played this season with the Boston Bruins.

The trade gives GM Kyle Dubas two fairly young though not impressive depth pieces. There is potential for both men to find their footing in Pittsburgh, and only time will tell in that regard, but it's a nice bit of business for Toronto's old GM to take on some scraps to get a deal done.

Toronto will look a whole lot different against the Avalanche on Saturday, that's for sure.
