According to various published reports, the Maple Leafs are on the verge of trading goaltender Justin Pogge to the Anaheim Ducks.
TSN first reported that the Leafs had a trade in place with the Ducks for a conditional draft pick.
Pogge told the Toronto Star he had heard of the trade and is looking forward to the change.
"I heard about it and I'm pretty excited, a fresh start somewhere new, so I think it's a good move," he said.
With Pogge no longer in the picture, the Leafs are already looking elsewhere for a replacement at the AHL level.
The Star is reporting the Leafs will soon announce the signing of Joey MacDonald, who spent last season with the New York Islanders.
