RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired veteran defenceman Tim Gleason from the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday in exchange for defenceman John-Michael Liles. The Hurricanes also received the rights to Brown University defenceman Dennis Robertson in the trade announced during the Maple Leafs game against Detroit in the Winter Classic. The 30-year-old Gleason was the Hurricanes most physical forward and one of the longest-tenured players on the team. Only captain Eric Staal and 2006 Conn Smythe Trophy-winning goalie Cam Ward have been with the franchise longer. The 33-year-old Liles had 15 hits and averaged 17 minutes of ice time in six games this season with the Maple Leafs. He was scratched from the Winter Classic. "John Liles was an excellent person for us and an excellent player," Toronto coach Randy Carlyle said. "He backed what we were trying to do and he was one of our leaders and it was a hard thing to do. An unfortunate situation where we couldnt get him ice time. Young guys like Morgan Reilly pushed him out the door. It was an unfortunate situation." Carolina general manager Jim Rutherford says Liles is a puck-mover who "can make a difference offensively" from the blue line. The Hurricanes acquired Gleason in a trade with Los Angeles in September 2006, three months after they won their only Stanley Cup. He missed 21 games this season due to injury, including the first 10 with a concussion, and had one assist while playing at a minus-7 rating with 10 penalty minutes. Gleason played in 491 career games with the Hurricanes -- the third-highest total of any defenceman since the club moved from Hartford in 1997 -- and his 495 penalty minutes are the most of any Carolina defenceman since the move. He was a healthy scratch for Tuesday nights overtime win against Montreal that snapped a five-game losing streak. The Hurricanes are sixth in the Metropolitan Division, 20 points behind division leader Pittsburgh and three behind the New York Rangers. Gleason played for the silver-medal-winning United States team at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and twice in the past three years his teammates selected him as the clubs Steve Chiasson Award winner for determination and dedication. Hes under contract through the 2015-16 season, having signed a four-year extension in July 2012 that will pay him $4.5 million both this season and next, and $3.5 million in the final year of the deal. Liles also is under contract through 2015-16 at an average of $3.875 million per year. Its the second trade of the week for Carolina, which sent forward Kevin Westgarth to Calgary on Monday in exchange for minor league forward Greg Nemisz. The Hurricanes also picked up the rights to the 22-year-old Robertson, who has three goals and five assists during his senior season at Brown. Celtics Jerseys Outlet .

Chapman likely will pitch at Class A Dayton on Thursday in his first time in a game since suffering a head injury. Hes hoping to be activated after four or five appearances in the minors. "It went very good," Chapman said, with trainer Tomas Vera translating. "All my pitches were the way I wanted." The left-hander was hit on the forehead by a line drive during a spring training game in Arizona on March 19. He had a plate inserted above his left eye and nose to help fractures heal. Chapman was one of eight Reds who opened the season on the disabled list, the most in the majors.

"I feel normal," he said. "I feel the way I was before I got hit with the ball." Manager Bryan Price thinks Chapman needs only a few games in the minors to get ready for his return. Chapman suggested four or five would be sufficient. Chapman threw the equivalent of one inning to Reds hitters, working more on his changeup and slider. "I know I have the fastball," he said. "Im feeling I have the fastball. Im working with the breaking pitches." Outfielder Roger Bernadina saw a couple of fastballs at the outset from Chapman and couldnt connect. "I didnt see the first two," Bernadina said.
