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
