The Maple Leafs acquired Pat Quinn via a trade in 1968. Who did they send the other way?

This isn't a question, but I heard it on the Rangers/Devils game last night and I thought I'd share it.
The Devils goalie last night became the 48th rookie goalie to start a game 7 in the playoffs. Since the Devils won, the record for rookie goalies in game 7's is now 25-23.
