Maple Leafs acquire Galchenyuk from Hurricanes
The Toronto Maple Leafs have landed forward Alex Galchenyuk from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for prospect Egor Korshkov and defenseman David Warsofsky, the team announced Monday.
This marks the second time Galchenyuk has been traded in three days, as he was shipped from the Ottawa Senators to the Hurricanes on Saturday along with Cedric Paquette for Ryan Dzingel. It's also the fifth time he's been dealt since 2018.
Galchenyuk won't need to quarantine before joining the Leafs because he never left Canada, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
The 27-year-old recorded one goal over eight games with the Senators this year while averaging 9:30 of ice time per contest. He signed a one-year, $1.1-million contract with Ottawa during the offseason.
The 2012 third overall pick showed plenty of promise during his time with the Montreal Canadiens, notching career highs in goals (27) and points (56) as a 21-year-old. But he's failed to hit the 20-goal mark since.

I'm sure he wasn't missing playing in a large media market - good luck ol' friend.
