Maple Leafs Acquire Defenseman Peluso from Penguins

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that they have acquired defenseman Chris Peluso from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a sixth round pick in the 2010 Entry Draft. He is currently playing at Bemidji State and was a seventh round pick of the Penguins in 2004. This is really just a minor trade for the Maple Leafs. If Peluso is able to make the Maple Leafs in the future, it will likely be as a depth defenseman.
