The Maple Leafs have added some toughness, acquiring forward Ryan Hollweg from the New York Rangers yesterday for a 2009 fifth-round draft pick.
Hollweg, 25, had two goals and two assists and 96 minutes in penalties in 70 games with the Rangers last season.
The Leafs had not replaced enforcer Wade Belak, who went to the Florida Panthers at the trade deadline, and GM Cliff Fletcher recently said it was an issue that needed to be addressed.
Hollweg has five goals and seven assists in 200 career NHL games, all with New York.
He was the Rangers' eighth-round draft choice, 238th overall, in 2001.
New York gets Pittsburgh's pick in next year's draft, which was acquired by Toronto in the deal that sent defenceman Hal Gill to the Penguins at the deadline last season.
