The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Monday morning a reduction of their camp roster from 40 players down to 26 a day before cap compliant rosters are required to be submitted (5pm Tuesday). The Leafs have also made some changes to their lineup following Saturday’s Blue vs. White scrimmage game. Let’s get into it.

Camp Attendees sent to the Marlies
A number of players were sent to the Toronto Marlies (some pending waivers) who will likely begin their training camp in the coming weeks as an early February start to the AHL season approaches. Here is a rough set of lines for those players, which is easier to read than a list of names in alphabetical order.
I have excluded players who did not attend training camp as they are on loan in Europe (notably Egor Korshkov, Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, and Denis Malgin).
Bold - on waivers today
Italics - cleared waivers before today
* - AHL-only contract
Nic Petan - Pierre Engvall - Joey Anderson
Kenny Agostino - Rourke Chartier* - Justin Brazeau*
Tyler Gaudet* - Scott Sabourin*
Calle Rosen - Timothy Liljegren
David Warsofsky - Martin Marincin
Teemu Kivihalme - Mac Hollowell
