Toronto Maple Leafs prospect given new opportunity via trade

A Toronto Maple Leafs draft prospect is on the move. The BCHL's Nanaimo Clippers have traded Leafs 2024 7th round pick Matthew Lahey to the Coquitlam Express along with D Cooper Wilson and Future Considerations in exchange for LW Luke Lavery.
