Jimmy Vesey (TOR), Paul Byron (NTL), Anton Forsberg (WPG) and Mikhail Grigorenko (CBJ) have been placed on waivers.
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 16, 2021The Maple Leafs have chosen to waive Jimmy Vesey just as they have three more days off before their next game. Vesey has struggled to find a spot in the roster where he can contribute, and has played mostly on the fourth line of late. He has five goals and two assists in 30 games for the Leafs.
With the current need to have three goaltenders all on the main roster because of Jack Campbell’s injury, the tight roster is even tighter, and the Leafs have been playing with one extra forward at most.
