The Penguins were likely going to lose McCann for nothing in the Expansion Draft, so this trade brings Filip Hallander back to the organization after losing him in the Kasperi Kapanen trade. For the Maple Leafs, they will expose McCann and will likely lose him or Alexander Kerfoot. Either way, they are left with a third-line centre in the organization.

Dunn missed the final 11 games of the regular season with an upper-body injury. Dunn missed Sunday's practice due to an illness and the combination of issues will be enough to keep him out of Game 1 in Colorado. With Dunn out, Marco Scandella will skate on the second pairing with Colton Parayko.

Tolvanen had a nice season, scoring 11 goals with 11 assists in 40 games. However, according to the Predators projected lineup, they will go with a heavier lineup which would have Tolvanen sitting in Viktor Arvidsson's return. Taking Tolvanen out will surely hurt the Predators' power-play.
