The New Jersey Devils acquired forward Tyler Toffoli from the Calgary Flames on Tuesday in exchange for forward Yegor Sharangovich and a third-round pick in this week’s NHL draft.
Toffoli, 31, is coming off the most productive season of his 11-year NHL career. The center played in all 82 games for Calgary in 2022-23 and set career highs in goals (34), assists (39) and points (73).
Toffoli is entering the final year of a four-year deal originally signed with the Montreal Canadiens. In 515 career games with the Los Angeles Kings (2012-13 to 2019-20), Vancouver Canucks (2019-20), Canadiens (2020-21 to 2021-22) and Flames (2022-23), Toffoli has tallied 290 points (139 goals, 151 assists).
Sharangovich, 25, was a fifth-round pick by the Devils in 2018 and is set to become a restricted free agent. In three seasons with New Jersey, he had 106 points (53 goals, 53 assists) over 205 games. He had 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 75 appearances last season.
The pick going to Calgary, No. 80 overall, originally belonged to the Flames and was passed along to the Seattle Kraken, Columbus Blue Jackets and Devils in prior trades.
The deal marked New Jersey’s second trade of the day. Earlier, the Devils offloaded goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick.
