Yesterday, in the flood of players placed on waivers, the Leafs made their final roster cuts.
The final four players waived were:
Wilson, who has been injured since before camp began has not appeared in any games, practices or scrimmages, so he remains an unknown quantity. He played 50 games last year in Pittsburgh with exceptionally good shotshare results. He looks like a better than replacement level player, by a little bit, but he hasn’t shown any impact on goal scoring at all in the NHL. In the AHL, he’s a good third line winger.
Nic Petan doesn’t drive play offensively, but he’s got a history of good shots against numbers.
