Maple Leafs Acquire Mike Brown from Ducks

The Toronto Maple Leafs added some toughness to their lineup on Saturday by acquiring right wing Mike Brown from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for their fifth round pick in the 2010 Entry Draft. In 75 games last season with the Ducks, Brown had six goals and one assist for seven points and 106 penalty minutes. In 142 career NHL games with the Ducks and Vancouver Canucks, he has nine goals and three assists for 12 points and 306 penalty minutes. Not a bad acquisition for the Maple Leafs, as Brown will be an energy player for the team and probably be used on the penalty kill. He is a very tough forward who will stick up for his teammates, so he should be a good fit for the Maple Leafs.
