Leafs send Belak to the Panthers

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded forward Wade Belak to the Florida Panthers for a 2008 fifth round pick.

The 6-foot-5, 221-pound forward has one goal and 66 penalty minutes in 30 games this season, his seventh with the Leafs.

"I'm happy," Belak told TSN. "I has a good run in Toronto and I'm unrestricted this summer and I didn't know what plans the team had in the future."

A career enforcer, he has eight goals, 29 points and 1,096 penalty minutes in 425 career NHL games.
