The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed veteran winger Milan Michalek on waivers, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Michalek has appeared in all five Leafs games this season, recording a goal and an assist. The 31-year-old carries a $4-million cap hit.
The Maple Leafs also claimed forward Ben Smith on waivers Monday.
Smith has appeared in four games with the Colorado Avalanche this season. He split time last year between the Maple Leafs and their AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.
