The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a move to make themselves salary compliant by placing forward Nick Ritchie on waivers. Ritchie signed a 2 year deal with an average annual value of $2,500,000 this past summer.
That start to Ritchie's career as a Maple Leaf hasn't gone as he'd hoped as the forward has only produced 7 points in 30 games, with only 1 goal. The Maple Leafs have recently activated Ilya Mikheyev and Mitch Marner from the injured reserve and needed to create cap space to be cap compliant.
