In case you missed NBC’s 20 seconds on it the Toronto Maple Leafs made two different moves today.
The Maple Leafs have obtained defenceman Dion Phaneuf, forward Fredrik Sjostrom, and defenceman Keith Aulie from Calgary in exchange for forwards Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Jamal Mayers and defenceman Ian White.
The Maple Leafs have also acquired goaltender J.S. Giguere from the Anaheim Ducks in return for goaltender Vesa Toskala and forward Jason Blake.
Nice to see cluetard Jason Blake head west. Obviously Phaneuf and Giguere are the biggest pieces. Everyone knew Giggy was going someplace when Jonas Hiller signed a 4 year deal with the Ducks yesterday. Stunned anyone willingly traded for Toskala. Apparently Brian Burke still thinks the Leafs are a contender. Hagman has been a nemesis for Pittsburgh this year so good riddance. I’m surprised Stajan is gone.
Nobody expected a ton of moves before the Olympics, more like right after the gold medals were awarded. Burke says he is done making moves for now but there are rumors that Pittsburgh may be in discussion for Alexi Ponikarovsky. That’s all rumor but it is a move a lot of people advocate. More on it if anything develops.
