Five Players Hit Waivers, Including a Surprising Name, and Two Trades Go Down
We've had a lot of action in the National Hockey League in the past few minutes including trades and waiver moves.
Let's break it down step by step.

"The Leafs free up at least $1.15 million in cap space before the trade deadline by placing Ryan Reaves on waivers.

Should another team put in a claim, which isn't expected, Toronto sheds his entire $1.35M."
