The LA Kings have acquired forward Trevor Moore from the Toronto Maple Leafs, along with a pair of third-round draft picks in exchange for forward Kyle Clifford and goaltender Jack Campbell, according to Vice President and General Manager Rob Blake.
Also, goaltender Cal Petersen has been recalled from Ontario (AHL).
The two third-round picks include Columbus’ third-round pick (previously acquired by Toronto) in the 2020 NHL Draft and a conditional third-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
Moore, a 24-year-old forward from Thousand Oaks, Calif., has appeared in 26 games this season with Toronto posting five points (3-2=5). He has also played in two games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) recording two points (1-1=2).
Signed by the Maple Leafs as an undrafted free agent, Moore is currently in his fourth professional season since leaving the University of Denver in 2016. During that time, he has posted 13 points (5-8=13) in 51 NHL games and 107 points (49-58=107) in 173 AHL games.
In 2018 he, alongside fellow Kings teammate Carl Grundstrom, helped lead the Marlies to the Calder Cup Championship, posting 17 points (6-11=17) and a plus-7 rating in 20 games. He ranked tied for fourth in points, tied for fifth in assists and tied for ninth in goals during the championship run.
Forward Kyle Clifford was a second-round pick by the Kings in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and has played his entire career with LA. The Ayr, Ontario native has appeared in 660 NHL games posting 129 points (60-69=129). He was a member of both the 2012 and 2014 Stanley Cup Championship teams, highlighted by his assist on the Stanley Cup clinching goal in Game 5 against the New York Rangers.
Goaltender Jack Campbell was acquired from Dallas by the Kings during the 2016 NHL Draft. Since his acquisition, the Port Huron, Mich. native has appeared in 57 NHL games, posting a 20-24-5 record, .918 save percentage, 2.51 goals-against average and two shutouts.
He also appeared in 80 games with Ontario (AHL) during that time with a record of 43-26-15, .912 save percentage, 2.67 goals-against average and five shutouts.
The Kings continue their four-game road trip tomorrow against the New York Islanders. The game starts at 4 p.m. and will be broadcast on FOX Sports West, the FOX Sports App and the LA Kings Audio Network on iHeartRadio.

Hey @MapleLeafs fans. Really simple. Jack Campbell is exactly what is needed for the Leafs. Clifford adds a dimension that can help. The price of not making this type of trade was far greater than the price to acquire these players.

Leafs get their backup goalie in Jack Campbell. And a nice add in Clifford, a pending UFA winger who brings physicality to a Leafs team that needs it.

That conditional third round pick in ‘21 has to do with whether or not Clifford re-signs with Toronto and a number of wins by Campbell.... so two conditions attached to that pick.
— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) February 6, 2020
That conditional third in ‘21 becomes a 2nd RD pick if either Clifford re-signs with the Leafs OR Campbell wins a certain amount of games .... Kings are guaranteed at least the 3rd Rd pick if neither of those conditions are met https://t.co/2GHoMyPFOJ

Via hockey ops, conditions on the 2021 third:
It can move up to Toronto’s 2nd round pick if they re-sign Clifford or if they make the playoffs and Campbell wins 6 regular season games.

If #Leafs assign G Michael Hutchinson to the minors, the trade will result in the same amount of cap hit coming in as going out.
Acquired: Campbell ($675k) and Clifford with 50% retained ($800k) = +$1.475M
Traded: Moore ($775k) and if they assign Hutchinson (700k) = -$1.475M
