The Toronto Maple Leafs have sent forward Adam Cracknell to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in exchange for defenseman Steve Oleksy.
The Leafs did not acquire the defenseman that they are rumored to be pursuing, but they have made a move to bolster their AHL roster and provide depth to the team in case of injury.
With the related move of goalie Jeff Glass to the Ducks’ farm team, and the signing of Marlies defenseman Calle Rosen, the Leafs seem to be getting down to business that was possibly held up by the prolonged Nylander contract dispute.
