Raffi Torres: Released from PTO
Raffi Torres was waived by the Hurricanes on Thursday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.The downward trend continues for Torres, as he has failed to do much of anything since his record-setting 41-game suspension in the 2015-16 season.

Hurricanes' Raffi Torres: Will join Carolina on PTO
Raffi Torres will attend training camp with Carolina on a professional tryout agreement (PTO), Ben Pope of The News Observer reports.Having played 635 NHL games over his career with Vancouver, Phoenix, and San Jose, Torres has plenty of hockey knowledge he could pass down to the up and comers. However, over the past four seasons, the left winger has appeared in only 44 games due to injuries and suspensions. Now at 35 years old, the veteran has another shot to prove he belongs on an NHL team, but given his temperament and suspect injury history, he figures to be a longshot to make the Opening Night roster.

Maple Leafs' Raffi Torres: Dealt to Toronto
Raffi Torres will remain in AHL San Jose despite being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday along with two second round draft picks in exchange for Nick Spaling and Roman Polak.Since being traded to San Jose in 2013, Torres has played in just 16 games due to injuries and suspensions. After being acquired by Toronto, the veteran was loaned right back to his current AHL team, a clear sign the winger is unlikely to see any NHL action the remainder of the 2015-16 campaign. An unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, Torres is merely another piece in the Maple Leafs' plan to free up cap space for 2016-17.
