Breaking: Milan Michalek won't be happy as Leads add insult to injury

If you're Milan Michalek this has to feel like a slap in the face.

After the Maple Leafs placed him on waivers yesterday for the purpose of demoting him to the American Hockey League, a move that was likely prompted by the acquisition of grinder Ben Smith, another even more devastating announcement came out on Tuesday.

According to a report from Sportsnet's Chris Johnston the Leafs have also taken away Michalek's number 18 and have instead assigned it to the man who replaced him in the line up, the aforementioned Ben Smith.

It's a sign that the Leafs are done with Michalek, and have little or no intention of ever calling him back up to the main roster, a depressing reality if you're in Michalek's shoes.
