Confirmed with Link: Leafs waive Benning -- Cleared and assigned to the Marlies

[Ianturnedbull]

Elite level waiving action

I speculated that he wouldn't get a sniff of action as a Leaf.

 

[LeafSteel]

Will be surprised if he makes it through waivers. One of Montreal,Utah or Nashville will claim him. They all need serious help on the left side.

Got to feel Benoit and Hakapaa are going to split time in the press box.

Benning is RHD.

I don’t know that he plays his off-side.

 

[Dough72]

we will miss you Steve Benning

 

[TMLAM34]

Hopefully someone picks him up.

 

[The Iceman]

we will miss you Steve Benning

It’s Jim

 

[Gilmour1996]

So how much longer do we have to wait before we know if he's claimed or not?

 

[Budz]

I think’s 2pm.

Goodbye Terry Benning.

 

[LeafSteel]

Annette Benning?

Waive Holmberg next

 

[Budz]

Paying him 100k is nothing and great depth.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Waive Holmberg next

I thought Holmberg was the player to watch this season

 

[DarkKnight]

Good depth, glad he cleared.

 

[LeafParade]

Losing 100k of cap is not the greatest.
But at least you potentially have a NHL RHD that can be called up if Tanev or Hakanpaa go down.

Maybe marner and mathew can each take a 50k discount

 

[Menzinger]

He's going to play more for the Marlies than he ever will for the Leafs

I can see Tre try to give him away for future considerations this summer as a courtesy to the player

 

[Its not your fault]

This makes the trade just that little bit better.

Not sure why I typed Left side I meant right side. Surprised these teams did not claim him.

You were typing using your left brain….

Agree with you. I thought the majority of the teams would be put off by the 2nd year of his contract.

Treliving has a good way of getting guys through waivers, unlike boy wonder.

I swear, sometimes it felt like other GM’s were just punking Dubas with all the waiver losses we had with him here….

Glad not to lose him.

The other GMs were.

Also that cap relief makes this most possible
