The Toronto Maple Leafs made a minor trade, sending forward Dale Mitchell to the Anaheim Ducks for defenceman Mark Fraser.
The Leafs selected Mitchell 74th-overall in the 2007 NHL entry draft but the 22-year-old could not break into the NHL. The former Ontario Hockey League star with the Windsor Spitfires and Oshawa Generals has split time with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL and the Reading Royals of the ECHL the past two years.
Fraser was drafted 84th-overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2005 and was recently traded to the Ducks in December. He has played 25 games with the Syracuse Crunch this season, recording five points, 35 penalty minutes and a plus-13 rating.
