The Toronto Maple Leafs’ quest to be cap compliant ahead of the season opener got a bit clearer after trading Sam Lafferty to the Vancouver Canucks. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti discuss the deal and why Toronto decided to go down this route (0:00). That wasn’t the only move the Leafs made as they placed a few players on waivers ahead of the roster deadline as Mike and Dave look at why Martin Jones’ name will be one of the top names to watch ahead of the pickup deadline on Monday (8:41). To end the show, Mike and Dave discuss which players remain on the roster and how they think the final cuts will be done including the options involving Fraser Minten’s status (16:28).

What about Robertson
Trade or wave Samsonov! Isn't he a UFA at the end of year? Great way to free up cap space now. He is too fragile. Consider how often Leafs had to deploy Woll. I would keep MJ.
How many players allowed on LTIR?.
The 14-minute mark of the episode is near the beginning of a discussion about how the Leafs earlier this weekend put Martin Jones on waivers. Last week the Canucks put Spencer Martin, last season very often a sieve, on waivers, with the goalie strangely picked up by the Blue Jackets. I thought that maybe the Bolts would pick him up because of their goaltending straightjacket (no Vasy until sometime late next month or even December) but strangely it appeared the Jackets had wanted goaltending no less and pounced when they could.
