Yesterday, after signing Roman Polak and sending Calle Rosen to the AHL, the Leafs also put Eric Fehr on waivers.
Today at noon he has cleared waivers. What happens next is not yet known. He may be sent to the AHL, but he doesn’t have to be. Many teams waive depth players to provide flexibility in roster choices or to make them more attractive to trade.
If he does go to the AHL, $975,000 of his salary stays behind to count against the Leafs’ salary cap.
The next step could happen today or not until the Leafs leave on their California road trip.
