Injury Report: Morgan Rielly on LTIR (update: expected return Dec 29)

[TMLAM34]

Great opportunity for Sandin and Liljegren right now.

Also the best way to go around loosing your top three defenceman is ideally spreading out the playing time fairly evenly among the three units.

Giordano - Liljegren
Sandin - Holl
Mete - Benn

Probably what I’d role.

I’d love to see Liljegren on PP 1 as well. Definitely adds a solid shot from the point.

Jesus that second pairing is terrifying.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Huge loss. This is going to be very tough to overcome.

no more than any other. These guys have very short memories, for better or worse.

 

[SprDaVE]

Mac Hollowell season is upon us.

 

[Leafs87]

It was only sooner or later that the depth would have caught up to us. Good thing this didn’t happen last year, but we essentially have our top 3 D men on the sidelines

 

[Larcos_Unal]

mother of god

 

[Apex Predator]

Didn’t think we would have this many injuries on defence that Mac Howell might get a chance.

 

[Ambassador Bridge]

Topi Niemelä​

 

[Martin Skoula]

Last time he came back from an injury like this he looked brain-dead for months, I'm more worried about when he returns than I am about playing without him.

 

[theTTC]

At least our enforcer didn't appear to hurt his face too badly on that poor Islander's fists, so is still available to take up the offensive slack from Morgan.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Let’s see what the kids have

 

[PromisedLand]

Its victor mete szn

wohhh thats Justin Holl's music

 

[MSZ]

Holl is going to play 28 minutes a night.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Mac Hollowell season is upon us.

 

[Auston Marlander]

So we don't have our #1, #2 or #3 dmen for the foreseeable future. Oh and our 1b goalie is out. This will be fun....

 

[ULF_55]

Speculation on the extent.

LTIR doesn't have a maximum, but it has a minimum.

So it meets the minimum.

Hahaha crazy he’s probably going to get some games, you think they’ll play him ahead of Kral?

 

[BertCorbeau]

mother of god

I mean the cap hit argument doesn’t really matter.

And any team will have issues losing your top 3 defenders.

 

[The Iceman]

Being at 50 contracts we can not just flip a 4th for a depth D to someone even though we are swimming in cap space.

 

[Gallagbi]

It sucks, but it does give some opportunity (and hopefully clarity) to Sandin who has been awful this year after a good 21-22 season.

Nice to have Benn and Mete in the pipeline to support here as well

 

[Mickey Marner]

Justin Holl is our #1...

 

[Darch]

Might be just what the doctor ordered to get the Leafs to play defense first, at least on the back end.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

This D now is worst in NHL by a long long long ways .. but i guess we will see what Murray's got .. he did it for Pens who also had a god awful D core

 

[TMLeafer]

Lilly's Norris bid begins.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Mete or Mac Hollowell in lol. Prepare your loins for the manlet kings to patrol our backend and get absolutely manhandled.

Dubas does not believe in size or physicality on the backend and now he's gonna learn the hard way.

???? Did Dubas not trade for Gio, Lybushkin, Muzzin, sign Benn etc?
