While Ryan O'Reilly was the main piece in the deal, Noel Acciari was an important acquisition from the Maple Leafs.
He immediately led the team in hits, now with 173, and adds a great offense-driving presence in the bottom-six.
While he may have changed threads, he wasn't able to escape his hilarious nickname.
His pre-game meal consists of several Oreo's, which has given him the nickname Cookie.
Fun fact about Noel Acciari is his nickname is «Cookie» because he eats several Oreos before each game.

If you didn't already love Noel Acciari, this just makes him better.
Hopefully Cookie will be engraved on the Stanley Cup in a few months!
