New Leafs Ryan O’Reilly and Noel Acciari settle in quickly after blockbuster trade

Both newcomers made impact in Maple Leafs’ 5-1 win over rival Canadiens during whirlwind 24 hours following deal with Blues

Traded to the Maple Leafs by St. Louis late the night before, Ryan O’Reilly and Noel Acciari arrived at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday afternoon.

In O’Reilly the Maple Leafs picked up the most coveted player available before the NHL trade deadline on March 3. The trade has the potential to be one of the most important in the team’s 105 years. He is from Ontario and his parents and wife are from Toronto. This is his 14th season in the NHL and he has scored 20 goals or more seven times. He has also played in 64 post-season games during which he has 22 goals and 34 assists. He scored eight times and had 15 assists in 26 games during the Blues’ run to the Stanley Cup.

One thing to note: It is a bit of a gamble because O’Reilly and Acciari will be unrestricted free agents at the end of the season. “There was excitement in the locker room today with us getting two guys that are going to help our team,” Michael Bunting, who scored twice in the victory over Montreal, said afterward.
