The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed veteran forward Wayne Simmonds on waivers for the third time this season.
Like Jason Spezza before him, the Toronto Maple Leafs are using a player’s reluctance to play elsewhere to help them play the cap system in to their favor.
The 34-year old has managed to get through waivers twice already this season without being claimed, but the question is will he make it a third time.
Most likely he will.
