Kilger joins Belak in the Sunshine State
- Posted by Alex Simms on February 26th, 2008 filed in Kilger, Chad, Trades
The final deal of the day for Cliff Fletcher and the Toronto Maple Leafs has been completed. Chad Kilger has been traded to the Florida Panthers for a 3rd round draft pick. Kilger joins Wade Belak, both traded today. The Maple Leafs play the Panthers tomorrow and it will be interesting to see whether or not one or both of these guys are dressed.
Kilger is a gritty grinding forward with extremely soft hands. He would fit well on any team looking for a third or fourth line winger. He will get ample playing time in Florida, more than here in Toronto, and adds a dimension that Florida is lacking.
Leafs Nation wishes Chad and his family well in the future. Good luck!
