If they dress both they've clearly lost the plot.

Yes.
Last few games have been tough battles and they've been fine.
I use to want them to fight fire with fire but they aren't that kind of team.
I prefer they play their game and have Teams adjust to them instead of adjusting their game to the opponent.
We now have Hunt who can throw, and McMann is also not afraid to throw and go.
Add ZAR and Benn, and we don't need to add an anchor like Clifford and basically kill our 4th line that has been able to generate a strong forecheck and not be a liability every time the are on the ice.
I don't see future call-ups for Clifford in the picture at all

Mcmann will lay the body, but I don't think he's ever had a fight. Professional or otherwise.
I have seen him scrum in Marlies games.
More than capable of grabbing someone and rasslin' them down to the ground, which is often enough.

Important to note the Marlies are playing Bellville next. Easy way to get Holmberg some solid minutes.

ZAR Hunt and McMann can play physical and are at least somewhat useful NHLers. Throw Clifford and Simmonds out there and the Jets just laugh and skate circles around them.

They are using LTIR, so sending players down does not help them accrue cap space.

Most of the guys on our team will grab someone if they need to.
There just are a lot fewer cases of when that is the right/smart thing to do than fans think. Guys like Bunting do not really care, which is why he is endearing to fans, but he makes a lot of boneheaded decisions when it comes to not getting involved in scrums. Keefe probably tolerates it because Bunting is playing well and provides a ton of skill value, but if ZAR/Hunt did that consistently, they'd be sitting in the press box.

Hasn't played in a week now and hasn't been practicing. So he got hit pretty hard and putting him right into NHL action without a conditioning game or 2 after a flu/illness probably wouldn't be best for him.

He's playing for the Marlies tonight, so looks to me like some form of conditioning stint. He might stay there for a few games but I don't suspect it'll be more than that.

Look kind of move to clear cap space as much possible for TDL
Holmberg dont have to clear waiver..

Because the Leafs are into LTIR money, they do not accumulate cap space.
