How this season has exposed a flaw in the waiver system, why it needs to be fixed, and how to fix it.
When the Leafs claimed Frank Corrado on waivers on October 6 from the Vancouver Canucks, there was a consensus about the move: the Leafs acquired a young player to bolster their roster depth, and they gave up nothing to do it. Good move.
The expectation, however, was that Corrado would play semi-regularly, or at all. One quarter into the season, and Frank Corrado has yet to play a single game for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
