Not exactly the breaking news anyone is looking for, but Alex Biega is on the move. The Leafs seemed like they were looking to move some of the Marlies defensemen, namely Menell and Duszak, but those deals are yet to materialize.
The Marlies picked up two wins on the weekend before leaving for a road trip through Upstate New York and then a visit to Chicago. The Toronto Marlies defeated the Belleville Senators in back-to-back games on the weekend, reversing a their fortunes after an embarrassing 5-0 drubbing by the Laval Rocket on Wednesday.
We might seem them both back on the team eventually. Alex Biega and Kurtis Gabriel are on waivers today for the purpose of assignment to the AHL. Biega, 33, has not played meaningful time in the AHL since 2015-2016, and hasn’t played a full season there since the lockout year.
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs’ News & Rumors, I’ll share more information about some of the new signings the Maple Leafs have made this past week.
