Former Maple Leafs Goalie Placed On Waivers
Another day of preseason hockey means another day of NHL waivers.
Today 2 former Maple Leafs were placed on waivers.
Former Maple Leafs Goalie On Waivers
Today it was announced that former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Erik Kallgren was placed on waivers by the New Jersey Devils.
Former Maple Leaf forward Seth Griffith was also placed on waivers today by the Edmonton Oilers.
Both will now either play in the AHL or find themselves in a new organization.
Former Leafs Looking To Earn Another NHL Opportunity
Erik Kallgren and Seth Griffith will now both look to earn their spot back in the NHL.
Kallgren's time in the NHL has exclusively been with the Maple Leafs to this point. In his 24 NHL appearances, Kallgren has a 3.04 goals-against average and a 0.892 save percentage.
At 26 Kallgren still has plenty of time and development ahead of him in his hockey career. With an uncertain goalie situation in New Jersey, he could earn a call-up with a good start in the AHL.
Seth Griffith on the other hand is a professional hockey veteran at this point. He has played 80 total NHL games 3 of which came with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2016-17.
He most recently played in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors and had 60 points in 72 games.
He will likely continue to be a veteran presence in the AHL and look to help Bakersfield succeed once again.
