The Maple Leafs were going to run into a cap crunch — either due to injuries or COVID-19 or performance issues — and they were going to have to put more people on waivers.
They tried to wait that process out, through the tail end of training camp, when it felt like half the league was in the bargain bin. They thought, maybe, they could sneak a few players through later on, when rosters were set around the league.
The Leafs were willing to eat a little cap space in order to keep a few veterans on the roster those extra five days, but when rookie Nick Robertson went down with a knee injury on Saturday in Ottawa, that became more difficult.
They needed some more flexibility. And that’s why, in a nutshell, they put Jason Spezza and Aaron Dell on waivers on Sunday afternoon.
More moves are coming, too. The majority of them have to do with the complex machinations of the collective...
