The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Zach Hyman from the Florida Panthers on Friday in exchange for forward Greg McKegg.

The Maple Leafs also received a conditional seventh round draft pick in 2017 from the Panthers in the deal.

Hyman, a Hobey Baker finalist with the Michigan Wolverines last season, was drafted by the Panthers in the fifth round (123rd overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft but refused to sign an entry-level contract with the Panthers.

While a deal has not been finalized, TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie reported Friday that Hyman is expected to join the Leafs.

The Maple Leafs can negotiate exclusively with Hyman on a contract until August 15. 

Hyman, 23, scored 22 goals and 54 points in 37 games with the Wolverines.

McKegg, also 23, was drafted in the third round of the 2010 draft. He appeared in three games with the Leafs last season, registering no points.

In 62 games with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, McKegg scored 22 goals and added 15 assists.
