New faces in Toronto

With the signing of their new GM only a few weeks ago, the Leafs are expecting further changes. There will be new faces in the dressing room as the leafs acquire Nicklas Backstrom from the Washington Capitals along with centreman Chris Bourque and winger Tomas Fleischmann in exchange for Alex Steen, Jiri Tlusty, and Ryan Hollweg. "We feel that they will be a good fit and that they have much to contribute to this club" says the new GM. The Leafs have gone 8-1 since under new management and hope to preserve their streak with the new players in the line-up.
