Maple Leafs trade Corrado to Penguins for Fehr, Oleksy, pick
Frank Corrado is free ... from the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Leafs traded the defenseman to the Pittsburgh Penguins for forward Eric Fehr, blue-liner Steve Oleksy, and a 2017 fourth-round pick, the clubs announced.
Corrado was never able to carve out consistent playing time with the Leafs, who waived him in early February. He appeared in only two NHL games this season after making 39 appearances with Toronto in 2015-16.
Despite the change of scenery, he won't be starting his Penguins tenure in the NHL.
The Penguins are keeping Frank Corrado in the AHL. Assigned him to Wilkes-Barre.

Fehr is on the books for $2 million this season and another $2 million in 2017-18, while Oleksy is a pending unrestricted free agent with a cap hit of $575,000.
Oleksy suited up in 11 games for the Pens this season, recording one assist. Fehr played 52 games for Pittsburgh, scoring six goals and adding five assists.
