Mark Bell’s roller-coaster tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs has come to an end as the New York Rangers have claimed the winger on re-entry waivers.

The 28-year old Bell was originally acquired by the Leafs, along with goaltender Vesa Toskala from the San Jose Sharks for draft picks in 2007.  After being acquired by Toronto, Bell served a month long suspension and was placed in stage two of the NHL’s substance abuse program after a no-contest plea to drunk driving and hit-and-run charges from a 2006 arrest in California.
