The Buffalo Sabres have placed a former Toronto Maple Leafs player on waivers, according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. The move comes as teams continue to fine-tune their rosters during the season, either to make space for new additions or to send players to their AHL affiliates.
While specific details about the player and their future with the Sabres remain unclear, this development highlights the competitive nature of NHL roster management. It also serves as a reminder of the fluidity of careers for players who have previously represented iconic teams like the Maple Leafs.
Teams across the league will now have an opportunity to claim the player off waivers. If unclaimed, they could potentially report to the Sabres’ AHL affiliate or face further roster decisions. More updates are expected as the waiver process unfolds.
