Leafs trade Tlusty to Canes for Paradis

The Leafs have parted ways with annually touted prospect Jiri Tlusty, sending him to the Carolina Hurricanes for their 2009 1st Round Pick (#27 Overall) Phillipe Paradis. In 26 games in the QMJHL, Paradis has 8 G, 11 A for 19 points and a plus-minus of -3.

Good move by the Buds. Tlusty was given enough chances and this helps the team replenish first round picks that were given up for #81 a few months ago. Should be a good fit for both teams. Paradis is 6'2", weighing in at 205 pounds.
