The Toronto Maple Leafs placed Brooks Laich, Colin Greening, Byron Froese and Andrew Campbell on waivers today.
Froese and Campbell were as close to a guarantee to be sent down as you can get, so there’s no surprise with those two.
Greening was on the bubble given that he didn’t hurt the team last year and his one-way status, but still not shocking in general.
Brooks Laich, though, is a player that I doubt any honest person would claim they believed would be placed on waivers and – presumably – sent to the Toronto Marlies.
None of the four players are in danger of being claimed by anyone in the league, so they will remain property of the Toronto Maple Leafs when the clock strikes clear on them tomorrow.
