The Los Angeles Kings have traded Tyler Toffoli to the Vancouver Canucks for winger Tim Schaller, prospect Tyler Madden, a second-round draft pick in 2020 plus a conditional draft pick if Toffoli re-signs (a fourth rounder), per Pierre Lebrun.

The New Jersey Devils have traded forward Blake Coleman to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Vancouver's conditional first-round pick in the 2020 or 2021 draft (acquired in the J.T.
