Maple Leafs' Peter Holland: Waived by Maple Leafs

Holland (concussion) was placed on waivers by Toronto on Friday, James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail reports.

Analysis:

The Leafs are likely waiving Holland as a bargaining chip in his upcoming arbitration hearing as the team will want to give him a two-way deal. The winger's 2015-16 season ended early due to concussion symptoms, but when he was healthy, he had moderate production for a bottom-six forward -- nine goals and 18 helpers. If the 25-year-old goes unclaimed, he will move forward with his arbitration hearing scheduled for Monday.
