O'Reilly is in the final year of a seven-year deal that carries a $7.5 million cap hit. In the trade, the Blues retained 50 percent of O'Reilly's contract and the Wild retained 25 percent, so the Maple Leafs get him at a $1.875M cap hit. O'Reilly's offensive game has struggled this season, scoring just 12 goals with seven assists (19 points) in 40 games. He brings an excellent two-way game and the ability to play centre in a shutdown role or the wing in an offensive role. His fantasy stock could rise if he ends up on the wing with John Tavares and Mitch Marner.

Annunen has a 16-8-4 record, .912 SV% and 2.55 GAA with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) and has been recalled for the first time this season Friday. Annunen is expected to start one of the Avalanche's back-to-back games this upcoming weekend.
