We've had a lot of action in the National Hockey League in the past few minutes including trades and waiver moves.
Let's break it down step by step.
First, there was movement on the NHL waiver wire, including a surprise from Toronto.
Five players placed on NHL waivers, including Ryan Reaves
"The Leafs free up at least $1.15 million in cap space before the trade deadline by placing Ryan Reaves on waivers.
That's what they save if he clears and they assign him to the AHL.
Should another team put in a claim, which isn't expected, Toronto sheds his entire $1.35M."
