With a healthy line-up, it looks like Nick Ritchie is the odd-man out for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Although I spoke about time off being a good thing for Nick Ritchie a few days ago, it looks as if I was wrong and his time with the Toronto Maple Leafs is coming to an end.
The Salary Cap is $81.5M, but as of today, the team is sitting at $82.283M (according to capfriendly.com). Prior to their game against the Ottawa Senators on January 1st, they’ll have to comply with the cap, so the only solution is to waive Nick Ritchie.
