Leafs acquire Penguins' McCann for Hallander, 7th-rounder
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Jared McCann from the Pittsburgh Penguins for prospect Filip Hallander and a seventh-round draft pick, the team announced.
McCann turned in the most productive campaign of his NHL career with the Penguins this past season, scoring 14 goals and adding 18 assists in 43 games. He has one year remaining on his contract with a cap hit of $2.94 million.
Many projected the 25-year-old to be left exposed by the Penguins in next week's expansion draft.
Pittsburgh actually selected Hallander with the 58th pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. The Penguins traded him to the Maple Leafs as a part of the Kasperi Kapanen trade last August. He's yet to skate in an NHL game but recorded 24 points in 51 games with Lulea HF in the Swedish Hockey League last season.

He led all Stars forwards with 49 blocked shots in 2020-21.
