Maple Leafs acquire Brian Leetch


TSN.ca Staff




3/3/2004

The New York Rangers have parted ways with one of the franchise's most celebrated players, trading veteran defenceman Brian Leetch to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Maxim Kondratiev, Jarkko Immonen and draft picks, pending a trade call with the NHL, TSN has learned.



Leetch spent all 16 seasons of his NHL career in New York, with more than 1,100 games played with the Blueshirts.



A two-time Norris Trophy winner as the league's top defenceman, Leetch was remembered most for his performance in the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs when he led all skaters with 11 goals and 23 assists in 23 playoff games. He was named the 1994 Conn Smythe Trophy winner as Most Valuable Player in the postseason after helping lead the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup since 1940.



Leetch, 36, has another year on his contract at $6.4 million US.
