Well, looks like it’s “claim every Leaf off waivers” season for the Vancouver Canucks. After snagging Jimmy Vesey last week, the team has now claimed Travis Boyd too, and they’ll both be a significant upgrade for the Canucks’ bottom six.
I wrote about Vesey when his news broke a few days ago, and Boyd will likely make a similar impact, as he has garnered eight points in 20 games with Toronto this season.
