The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced their first cuts to the training camp roster.
Not a lot of surprises on this list, as you would expect at this early date. Finnish D Jesper Lindgren going back to the Liiga is not a huge shock given the Marlies’ abundance of defenders. It’s worth noting that for players who can be loaned back to junior (e.g. Sean Durzi) that are going to the Marlies’ camp, this does not necessarily mean they’re going to play in the AHL this year. Stay tuned.
The remaining roster features a number of names that are definitely bound for the minors once further cuts are made.
