Leafs add another veteran forward for another potential pump-and-dump at the deadline.
The Maple Leafs made a low-risk bet at the bottom end of their lineup today, signing Shawn Matthias to a one-year deal worth $2.3 million.
Matthias is a 27-year old Brampton, Ontario native who played last season with the Vancouver Canucks. He was acquired by the Canucks the previous season from the Florida Panthers in the Roberto Luongo trade, who had previously acquired him in 2007 from the Detroit Red Wings in the Todd Bertuzzi trade.
