Leafs laud Ferguson's recent moves

Leafs laud Ferguson's recent moves: "When John Ferguson acquired goaltender Vesa Toskala and forward Mark Bell from the San Jose Sharks at last month's NHL Entry Draft, the Maple Leafs general manager received a congratulatory phone call.

It was from Mats Sundin's European-based agent.

'He said Mats wanted me to pass this along: 'He thinks it's an excellent deal and he's excited,' ' Ferguson said.

After the Leafs signed free agent sniper Jason Blake on Sunday, Ferguson's phone rang again. But this time, it was Sundin who had placed the long-distance call."
