Leafs send Beauchemin to Ducks for Lupul, Gardiner and fourth-round pick



Beauchemin is going back to the team where he had the most sucess.

Ok, if you want another player who has been injurned a few times recentley and has lost his goal-scoring form, Toronto made a great trade.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have shipped defenceman Francois Beauchemin back to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Joffrey Lupul, defenceman Jake Gardiner and a conditional Ducks' fourth-round draft pick in the 2013 Entry Draft.

The 30-year old Beauchemin struggled during his time in Toronto after signing as a free agent in 2009, however he helped the Ducks capture the Stanley Cup in 2007.

In Return The Leafs get a good young player in Jake Gardiner. He is a very fast skater. If you like Keith Aulie, you will like this guy. He has good hands and good strength, even though he weighs less the 180 pounds.

Lupul, on the other hand, has been injurned for most of this season and last. He had only 14 points last year, and is on pace for only 20 this year. He has had 50 points twice in his career.
