Leafs Put Lashoff on Re-Entry Waivers
Quote:
Defenceman Matt Lashoff, a key performer for the Marlies in their second-half success, was expected to clear recallable waivers at noon Tuesday, in time for the back-to-back road games in Carolina and Florida. Since trading Tomas Kaberle, and before him, Francois Beauchemin, the Leafs had been relying on Brett Lebda and Mike Komisarek as their fifth and sixth defencemen. But they don’t want to be caught short-handed on the road as the games pile up and injuries become more of a risk.
Lashoff could stay the balance of the Leafs’ 13 games, as he represents the second of their four American Hockey League call-ups, permissable while the Marlies are active. But even if claimed before Tuesday, the New York state native can’t be utilized by another club this season as the NHL trade deadline has passed.
