Early Sunday afternoon the Toronto Maple Leafs placed Travis Boyd on waivers in order to free up some cap space before the April 12 trade deadline.
There is a chance that Boyd clears waivers and is simply assigned to the taxi squad, which would then allow Boyd to move from the taxi squad to the team up until the trade deadline.
