The Toronto Maple Leafs traded forward Bobby McMahon to the Seattle Kraken before the 2026 NHL trade deadline. In exchange, they received a second-round pick in 2027 and a fourth-round pick in 2026. With the playoffs no longer in sight, the Leafs chose to move pieces and rebuild through the draft. Meanwhile, the Kraken are battling for a Western conference wildcard spot and view McMahon as a key addition to spark their attack down the stretch. McMahon brings versatility to Seattle, thriving as a middle-six forward who can play with stars or grind on lower lines. His all-around game includes strong shooting, physical play, and solid penalty killing, making him a reliable option for contenders. This season alone, he posted 19 goals and 13 assists in 60 games with Toronto, putting him one goal shy of 20 for the second, straight-year.

1:00Across 200 career games, McMahon has tallied 54 goals and 91 points. As the deadline dust settles, this deal arm Seattle was scoring punch for a playoff push while Toronto stocks up on future assets. More moves could still shake up the league.
