As the season approaches the NHL teams are working on their final rosters and that means players are going on waivers and clearing for the AHL or being claimed by others.
Yesterday the Maple Leafs placed Nic Petan on waivers (he cleared, but Christian Djoos was claimed by Detroit and Gustav Forsling was claimed by Florida) and today it’s goaltender Michael Hutchinson's turn.
Michael Hutchinson (TOR) is among those placed on waivers today.

Hutch was signed as a fourth string goalie, behind Frederik Anderson, Jack Campbell, and Aaron Dell, so it’s no surprise he's been placed on the waiver wire.
