TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Matias Maccelli from the Utah Mammoth for a conditional third-round draft pick in 2027 on Monday.

If the Maple Leafs reach the playoffs and Maccelli registers 51 points next season, the pick becomes a second-rounder in 2029.

Maccelli had eight goals and 10 assists in 55 games for Utah last season.

The 24-year-old Finn produced career highs of 17 goals and 57 points in 2023-24.

Maccelli has one year remaining on his contract at a US$3.425-million salary cap hit.

The trade comes a day after the Maple Leafs signed winger Matthew Knies to a six-year extension worth $46.5 million, according to several media reports.
