Stephane Robidas was placed on long-term injured reserve with what seems to be a lingering groin injury, freeing up a roster spot as the team gets under the 23-man limit. The Toronto Maple Leafs then claimed 22-year-old Frank Corrado off waivers, after the Vancouver Canucks placed him there. Scott Harrington, who has impressed in training camp, was sent to the minors, but the intention is likely to call Harrington back up once Robidas’ placement on LTIR kicks in tomorrow:
With all that movement, here’s what the Toronto Maple Leafs’ defensive depth chart likely looks like on opening night:
Martin Marincin – Morgan Rielly
Jake Gardiner – Scott Harrington
Frank Corrado – Roman Polak
Picking up Corrado was a great move because he’s young and has already proven he can play NHL minutes on a pretty good team.
