He was only placed on waivers today. Whether or not he clears won't be announced until noon tomorrow.

Okidoki, thanks. With the depth the Leafs have, he may not be back (this year). I would think to make room for Komrade when he is OK, Smith will come back and many on this site think Carrick would be called up again if there is injury

Leo Komarov has been skating on his own in recent days and is making good progress in concussion recovery. He's increasing workload now.[/quote]
He also skated today for about 20 minutes with the Leafs strength coach before the Leafs practice. So he's making some progress there.

Great news on the Komrade. We need him back in the lineup.
From Jonas Siegel:
[quote author=http://www.tsn.ca/seasoned-blackhawks-show-envious-leafs-how-it-s-done-1.165696]It's very likely that Leo Komarov doesn't play again for the Leafs until 2015.
Komarov, who's missed the past 11 games with a concussion, has been skating recently and steadily improving. But the 27-year-old continues to experience symptoms related to the concussion, according to a source, even if those symptoms are not quite as severe as those in the initial aftermath of the injury.
And while he has taken to the ice briefly with the team's strength coach in recent days, Komarov still has yet to practice with the team, has yet to go through any substantial drills, and will miss the final game before the Christmas break in Dallas.
The Leafs will have five games in seven days when they return from the holidays with the possibility of one, maybe two practices in that span. He'll need more than that to return given the precarious nature of the injury and length of time missed. And that's assuming those symptoms disappear ? they haven't yet ? which is obviously far from a guarantee.
The likely timeline for Komarov's return, according to the source, is January ? perhaps as late as the middle of the month. Leafs general manager Dave Nonis did not respond to a request for comment on the matter.
Komarov was among the better Leafs through the first two months this season. He had 16 points in 23 games.[/quote]

Losing Komarov feels a lot like it did to lose Bolland last year: Fan favourite, got off to a great start in the season, and then boom, out with an injury that just doesn't seem to want to go away.

Agreed, Komrade is needed more know then ever. Hope the next month finds him getting much better.

He won't be. He's not expected back until mid-January. Also, you're really overstating his impact. With him or without him, there's a very good chance the Leafs will be on the outside, looking in shortly after New Year's.
Gibson was returned to the Marlies, so Bernier should be good to go for tomorrow night.

Injured Joffrey Lupul won't be back in Toronto until this aft., so an MRI and subsequent results might not be known until tonight or Friday.[/quote]
He left the arena on crutches last night, so it doesn't look good for him.
