$9.6 Million Maple Leafs Forward Among 12 Players Placed on Waivers October 3rd

The Toronto Maple Leafs have a surplus of NHL forwards, but to this point in time, they've done very little to change that this off-season, making several additions and very few subtractions with the season less than a week away.

However, all that changed on Friday as the team placed two forwards on waivers, most notably veteran David Kampf who has been a feature on their fourth line for a number of years now.

Beyond Kampf however, waivers were relatively quiet on Friday after 20 or more players were placed on waivers every day this week, with the Boston Bruins leading the way, officially waiving four players on Friday. Among those was Victor Soderstrom, a former 11th overall pick.

Here is the full list of players on waivers today:

Unsurprisingly, with the season getting closer and closer, there weren't many notable names placed on waivers today, and when Saturday's claims come in, it's unlikely that any of these players will be picked up by rival teams.

With the NHL season set to start early next week, rosters will need to be solidified over the weekend, and with so many teams still having bloated rosters full of AHL level players, we should see a major rush of waivers once again before the 2025/26 campaign is officially upon us.

Ultimately though, for the most part, teams have whittled down their rosters enough to a place that they're comfortable with, but as we've come to know, we should always expect the unexpected when it comes to waivers in the National Hockey League.
