With the start of the regular season looming, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced the next round of roster cuts on Monday morning. NHL hopefuls such as Kenny Agostino, Kevin Gravel, and Nic Petan were placed on waivers, while Yegor Korshkov was assigned to the Marlies, making a crowed team full of prospects and fringe players more jammed.
As a result of this, the Marlies sent three of the Leafs top prospects down to the ECHL to begin the season with the Newfoundland Growlers. Joining goalie Ian Scott, who is currently sidelined with an injury, is Justin Brazeau, Mac Hollowell, and Joseph Duszak.
