Yesterday William Nylander officially joined the Maple Leafs, as his contract took effect Sunday. NHL teams are limited to 23 healthy players, and they now have 24.
There were reports that they had sent Travis Dermott to the AHL in a “paper transaction”, but the AHL transactions page on their website does not show this move. Mike Babcock confirmed to reporters today that Dermott will play in Tuesday’s game.
The #leafs didn't place anyone on waivers at noon. May be a sign they have a trade in the works to open up a roster spot.
