The Toronto Maple Leafs have claimed right handed defenseman Frankie Corrado off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks today. Toronto born Corrado was drafted 150th overall in round 5 of the 2011 NHL entry draft after 4 years with the Sudbury Wolves. Since the draft he has played 28 games with the Canucks, and 101 with the Canucks AHL affiliates, scoring a total of 15 goals and 23 assists.
Corrado was ranked the Canucks 6th best prospect by Canucks Army, where Jeff Veillette described him as below:
Corrado isn't likely to have top pairing upside, but he's the type of guy that you look forward to having in an NHL rotation.
