Maple Leafs get May from Ducks for draft pick

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Toronto Maple Leafs added some grit to their line-up by acquiring Brad May from the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday for a conditional sixth round pick in the 2010 NHL draft.

"Brad will provide character, toughness, and he is a proven winner," Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke said in a statement. "We look forward to the veteran leadership that he will give our team."

May, a member of the Ducks 2007 Stanley Cup championship team, has no goals and five assists for Anaheim this season.

A first round pick of the Buffalo Sabres in the 1990 draft, May has also played for Vancouver, Phoenix and Colorado in 17 NHL seasons scoring 126 goals and adding 159 assists along with 2,121 penalty minutes.
