Giguere and Phaneuf to Toronto, Blake and Toskala Come West

It seems the Ducks got what they wanted and they got rid of a guy that had a remarkable career with the Ducks. Now that Giguere and Calgary defensemen Dion Phaneuf are headed to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Ducks got Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake, while the Flames got four players in return. Now I'm going to say this about the Leafs. Brian Burke's acquistions had better pay off, because if they won't, then Giguere could be out of Toronto by the end of the season. But I don't see that happening. I think Toronto will be better than it was before. Giguere has proven to be a reliable goaltender while Phaneuf is an all-around defensemen. For our Ducks, looks like we upgraded a lot, with Vesa Toskala proving he might be a reliable backup to Jonas Hiller and Jason Blake, who is a force on the wing. These acquisitions should improve the Ducks and make them a force again in the West.
