Lafferty went from top line chicago to not even in TOR lineup

Toronto, on the other hand, gained McCabe (with Chicago retaining 50% of his salary) and Lafferty, as well as two late picks in the 2024 and 2025 drafts - specifically, 4th and 5th-round picks.

Can you tell me what happened to Lafferty? He used to be a first-line player for Chicago, but things changed after he moved to Toronto.

He brought the toughness and depth that Toronto needed to succeed, but unfortunately, he got injured in mid-April. He did return to the lineup shortly after and even played in 5 games against Tampa Bay. However, he was a healthy scratch during Game 6.

It's possible that Keefe's decision to go with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen for the series contributed to his being scratched.
