Definitely not a groundbreaking deal, by any means, but the Toronto Maple Leafs were able to secure a little extra depth for their blueline by acquiring Matt Lashoff from the Lightning for a couple of prospect forwards on Friday.

Lashoff, who has played a minor part in four seasons between Boston and Tampa Bay doesn't have a great deal of NHL experience, but he has played in 63 career games, registering 15 career points in those games, so there has to be some attraction to him for the Leafs.  Toronto is already fairly stacked on the blueline, but some tested minor-league depth should be a plus for the team.

The Lightning add to their depth by picking up two minor-league forwards, both of which are on the final year of the entry-level deals.  Not too sure what their impact will be with the Lightning, but they are now in reserve, if needed.

I would not call any of these guys roster players today, so their cap hits are not worth mentioning today, but you might see these names at camp, finding their depth role with the club.
