Maple Leafs acquire Ryan O'Reilly from Blues in 3-team trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forwards Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari from the St. Louis Blues in a three-team trade including the Minnesota Wild on Friday.

In exchange, the Blues receive forward Adam Gaudette, prospect Mikhail Abramov, a first-round pick, a second-round pick and third-round pick. The Wild receive a fourth-round pick from Toronto and prospect Josh Pillar from St. Louis.

St. Louis will retain 50 percent of O'Reilly's $7.5-million cap hit in the deal, while Minnesota will retain 25 percent.

Noel Acciari, 31, is a depth forward who has 18 points in 54 games this season. He'll bring some experience to the bottom-six, with 361 games in the regular season, and 54 career playoff games.

Josh Pillar, 21, has generated 12 points in 13 WHL games so far in 2022-23. The Wild selected Pillar in the fourth round (127th overall) in the 2021 NHL Draft.
