Toronto Maple Leafs right winger Matt Frattin has cleared waivers and will report to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. Frattin, 26, has only appeared in six games for the Leafs this season in which he is scoreless. Originally drafted by the Leafs, he was reacquired in the offseason from the Columbus Blue Jackets for forward Jerry DAmigo. The team has also placed centre Petri Kontiola on unconditional waivers for the purposes of terminating his contract. Drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2004, the 30-year-old Finn has spent the last five seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League after failing to crack the NHL. He signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Maple Leafs last summer, but was unable to make the team in training camp and was reassigned to the Marlies. In 11 games with the Marlies this season, Kontiola has no points. Kontiola is expected to return to the KHL if he clears waivers. Chris Bassitt Jersey .

Numbers Game examines the Rangers signing of Dan Boyle. The Rangers Get: D Dan Boyle. Boyle, 37, has been one of the most productive blueliners in the league for more than a decade, though his role has declined lately. Last seasons average time on ice, 21:17 per game, was his lowest since 2001-2002. Since 2002-2003, Nicklas Lidstrom is the only defenceman to put up more points than Boyles 502, but a lot of that is dependent on power play production where, over the past eight seasons, hes scored 187 of his 357 points (52.4%) with the man advantage. Hes consistently posted solid, and sometimes better, possession numbers, though hes rarely been tasked with facing the oppositions best forwards. That role should probably continue with the Rangers, where he effectively replaces Anton Stralman, who signed with Tampa Bay.dddddddddddd Boyle isnt Stralmans equal defensively, but is a better puck carrier and power play quarterback. Furthermore, since hes older, the Rangers didnt invest the same kind of term as they would have to keep Stralman, who signed for five years in Tampa Bay. Boyle signed for $9-million over a couple seasons, an entirely reasonable price for a top-four defenceman. The Sharks had already made the decision that they were moving on from Boyle earlier, and decided to shift Brent Burns from right wing back to defence in order to fill those minutes.
