The Toronto Maple Leafs are acquiring the Swedish duo while also receiving Philadelphia's third-round pick in this summer's NHL draft. Goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit are going the other way.

Goalkeeper Samuel Ersson has played for Sweden at the World Cup and has been a regular in net for Philadelphia over the past three seasons.

The 24-year-old defenseman Andrae played 61 games and recorded 13 points for the club last season.

Correction: A previous version incorrectly stated that Samuel Ersson was in the 2026 Ice Hockey World Championship.
