The three forwards waived are:

- Kyle Clifford — expected to be cut
- Wayne Simmonds — traded or waived
- Adam Gaudette — somewhat surprising, but likely edged out by several younger players/

Victor Mete hitting the wire now is the second-least-risky time to waive him after next week sometime. There’s a lot of players out there today as well, and while the Leafs would like him to clear, he had a good training camp.

But maybe the grabby hands team is done for now?

Note: some of the players waived today by other teams are part of LTIR moves and will be recalled.
