Leafs Sign Hamilton


The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed free agent forward Jeff Hamilton. He was previously with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL and will report to the team immediately, likely in time for tonight's game with Washington. The signing fills the void left by the departure of forwards Nik Antropov and Dominic Moore. Niklas Hagman is also injured.

In 142 NHL games with Carolina and Chicago, Hamilton has amassed 71 points, most of them on the power play, where he is competent playing the point. Look for Ron Wilson to try him there as much as possible with Kaberle on the IR.
