Leafs trade Nolan Vesey’s rights to Oilers for conditional pick

One day after the Stanley Cup Final, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers couldn't wait to dip their toes into the trade market.

The Leafs sent the rights to 23-year-old forward Nolan Vesey to the Oilers in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2020.

Vesey, the younger brother of New York Rangers forward Jimmy Vesey, was picked in the sixth round by the Leafs in 2014. He scored 11 goals and added 14 assists at the University of Maine this past season.

If the Oilers can't agree on a contract with Vesey by Aug. 15, they'll lose his signing rights, according to Cap Friendly.

The minor deal is the first move of Kyle Dubas' tenure as Leafs GM.
