TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded forward Kris Versteeg to the Philadelphia Flyers for draft picks.
In return, the Leafs get first-round and third-round draft picks.
Versteeg has 35 points in 53 games this season.
He came to Toronto in the offseason after winning a Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks last spring.
Versteeg is set to earn $3.083 million next season in the final year of his contract.
The 24-year-old Alberta native has 136 points in 223 games.
The deal is the second in less than a week for the Maple Leafs. Last week, Toronto traded Francois Beauchemin to the Anaheim Ducks for forward Joffrey Lupul.
