Maple Leafs claim Marchenko, waive Corrado
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#2BFKZ)
Frank Corrado might finally be freed.
The Toronto Maple Leafs placed the seldom-used defenseman on waivers Saturday and claimed blue-liner Alexey Marchenko off the wire from the Detroit Red Wings, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Chris Johnston.
Corrado never managed to carve out consistent playing time since the Leafs claimed him off waivers last season. He appeared in only two games for Toronto this year after getting a 39-game look in 2015-16.
The 25-year-old Marchenko recorded six points in 30 games this season for the Red Wings, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2011.
