Leafs Start Playing Lets Make A Deal

Maple Leaf general manager made a deal today as he sent unhappy defenseman Ric Jackman to Pittsburg in return for Drake Berehowsky. Jackman had been complaining of late due his lack of game action and said he would welcome a trade. He will certainly get a large amount of playing time on a Pittsburg team that is really struggling this season. They are currently on a thirteen game loosing streak.

Berehowsky was originally drafted by the Maple Leafs tenth overall in the 1990 NHL entry draft. He has played with several teams including the Maple Leafs, Penguins, Coyotes, Oilers, Predators and Canucks throughout his career which has consisted of 540 career games. This season, Berehowsky has recorded five goals and sixteen assists in forty-seven games with the Penguins. He should help the Leafs defense as he can provide relatively dependable play in his own end. Should injuries befall any of the current blueliners, he will be more than capable of stepping in whether it is during the regular season or in the playoffs.
