Ogre Shreck has been traded from the struggling Sabres to the first place Toronto Maple Leafs. GM Mitsios has been very active in the trade market this season acquiring star power in both the front and back ends of this team. Going the other way from Toronto was a first round, second round and third round pick Julius Cascas and BJ Getzhead. "I am sad to see BJ and Julius go. BJ hasn't been getting a lot of playing time lately and he handlers it in a classy manner. Julius was a warrior for us night in and night out and on behalf of the Maple Leafs organization we wish them both the best." GM Mitsios said. "Shreck is a top shutdown defensemen in this league and we are thrilled to have him here, we felt bringing in a guy with such size and the leadership qualities along with experience he brings was a no brainer for our hockey club." GM Mitsios later said in the same press conference. With that being said this Maple Leaf team looks poised for a long playoff run, or a long summer of disappointment. For tsn I'm Gaylord Butts
