Note: everyone was so busy at noon waiting for Bob McKenzie to scoop them on the Carrick trade, no one ever confirmed that all waived players cleared today except Pontus Aberg. We’re just going to assume they have.
As part of their roster cuts heading towards opening night, the Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday waived five players: F Adam Cracknell, F Josh Jooris, F Chris Mueller, D Vincent LoVerde, and D Jordan Subban.
As expected, the five have cleared. Cracknell, Jooris, Mueller, and LoVerde are all 28 or older, and are expected to add veteran presence for a Marlies team that will surround them with up-and-comers like Jeremy Bracco and Timothy Liljegren.
