TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired winger Ryan Hollweg from the New York Rangers on Monday for a 2009 fifth-round draft pick.

Hollweg, 25, had four points (2-2) and 96 penalty minutes in 70 games for the Rangers. He has 12 points (5-7) in 200 career NHL games, all with the Rangers.

The native of Downey, Calif., was originally New York's eighth-round choice, 238th overall, in the 2001 NHL draft.

New York gets Pittsburgh's pick in next year's draft, acquired by Toronto in the deal that sent Hal Gill to the Penguins at the deadline.

You people sound like Glenn Healey. Nobody cares about the 1994 Rangers. And BTW, without the heroics of Mike Richter (an American) the Canucks would have demolished the Rangers.

this is a guy who is going to fit into the leafs new plan. A guy who is a real competiter, his speed in the forward posittion will be awsome for the trap.(same with hagman,and garbovski) Fletcher turned alot of his old players into draft picks. (or faster, younger players to fit the trap style) from what i see in this off season the leafs are now a stronger faster team its to bad they couldnt lock up sundin now. i really like where the team is heading the only concern i have is, i think they could have got some of the free agents they signed a little cheaper than what they went for. but i do know its hard to convince a player to come to a hockey town were they will be critazized for every move they make( so mabe thats why so much money had to be spent) oh ya and with fletcher getting so many defenceman watch for a trade macabe most likly but to get someone to take him they will need to sweetin the deal with a good young player ( white,stralman,)watch out fletcher doesnt make a 6 player trade.

Could it be possible that the leafs are trying to build up these guys market value by giving them a lot of ice time. Oh right this is the leafs.

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”

- Ottawa's Chris Neil about a hit he threw on Tampa's Victor Hedman Thursday night, causing Hedman to leave the game.
