Sounds like someone that will go on IR at the very least to me, which will allow the Leafs to activate Matthews tomorrow.
If Patches goes on the IR, it might be a good time to give Grebenkin a shot in his place.
Too bad, he was playing well.
There will still be roster decisions to be made when Hakanpää finishes his conditioning stint. My guess is that they'll waive Benning at that point.Willing to bet LTIR. Might allow us to avoid making other difficult decisions.

When Jarnkrok comes off LTIR, they'll also need to make room for him - so a forward will need to come off the roster at that point through trade or waivers (this is assuming that no one else gets injured).
When Minton comes off LTIR, he'll probably go to the Marlies.
I think they are going to play with roster configurations,Minten is already off LTIR and with the Marlies. I believe he played this weekend.
But yes, at this point, Pacioretty's injury; which is presumably going to be at least enough to put him on regular / 10-day IR, will solve the Leafs roster issues for the timebeing.
Matthews replaces Pacioretty.
Hakanpaa -- I recall reading the possibility of sending Myers on a conditioning stint to buy a little more time for them to shop Benning. Barring that, Benning goes on waivers and either ends up claimed (and the Leafs free of his cap hit for this year and next), or becomes additional injury depth.

Off to the Island. Robidas.
This is the most bizarre injury and situation.
He played 1 pre-season game, finished the game and then hasn't been seen since other than at a pratice or two. Could be someone they push to be on LTIR for the season.
Not sure I've seen a hernia be that severe though so maybe there's something else wrong.
It seems...curious.This is the most bizarre injury and situation.
