Today, with dozens of players on waivers, several claims were made, but the players waived by the Maple Leafs have all cleared.
What that means for the future of Wayne Simmonds is unclear, as the Leafs are actively trying to find a trade that would get him NHL game time. It is often the case that teams like to add a player after he’s cleared for flexibility reasons, so a trade can still happen.
It is expected that Victor Mete, Adam Gaudette and Kyle Clifford will report to the Marlies along with Nick Robertson, Pontus Holmberg, William Villeneuve and Filip Král.
