After a disappointing record last season (one win in seven games and a 4.35 GAA), goaltender, Justin Pogge, has been sent to the Anaheim Ducks and, in exchange, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have a conditional draft pick in 2011.

Bah. Kinda saw this one coming when they signed Jonas Gustavsson, right?
This is one of those deals that I really barely care about at this point. The truth is that I believed that Pogge could develop into a pretty decent goalie but Toronto hasn’t been a great place for a developing netminder. It’s interesting that he was with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) for most of the season and he managed to pull out 26 wins and post a 2.70 GAA in 52 games which is obviously much better than his NHL record.
The Leafs drafted 23-year-old Pogge 90th overall in 2004.
