What happened: Toronto acquired center Aatu Raty from Vancouver in exchange for forwards Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr. The club announced the move before Thursday's game. Raty will report to the AHL's Toronto Marlies.

Why it matters: The swap restocks Toronto's middle with a faceoff-first center while moving two forwards out of the organization. Wood's move to injured reserve creates short-term room on the wing. The Marlies assignment gives Toronto immediate minor-league

What to watch: Raty is expected to join the Marlies for workouts ahead of their upcoming slate. Toronto's next transactions will show how the wing rotation is backfilled.
