Maple Leafs Aquire Cody Franson & Matthew Lombardi

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired defenceman Cody Franson and centre Matthew Lombardi from the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenceman Brett Lebda and forward Robert Slaney.

The deal also includes a fourth-round pick – Nashville will acquire Toronto's 2013 fourth-rounder if Lombardi plays 60 or more regular-season games over the course of the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons, while Toronto will acquire Nashville's 2013 fourth-rounder if Lombardi does not play 60 games during the next two campaigns.

Predators general manager David Poile says that while he is giving up a lot of talent in the deal, these moves will allow his team more flexibility going forward.
