The Toronto-Carolina trade

O'Neill was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs on July 30, 2005 for a conditional 2006 draft pick. The 30-year-old had expressed a desire to play for the Maple Leafs before the signing of the new CBA. It was a fortunate move for O'Neill in part for the traditional reasons of teams improving themselves, but also because his brother, Donny O'Neill, 33, had died nine days before in a road accident in Vaughan, Ontario. The move allowed O'Neill to be closer to his family. Because of the passing of his brother Donny, the 2005-06 season was a hard on O'Neill. When questioned by the media following a Toronto Maple Leaf game, Head Coach Pat Quinn hinted that the 2005-06 season could be O'Neill's last.
