Its to get his scoring back on track , Pearson needs to go back down too.
Vey is the only one ready , and maybe kozun/weal.
Toffoli won't be down for long, its to get his game back on track.
Good move, what are we, 23rd in goals scored? Way too high, need to fall lower
Bummer...so we send down 1 of our top (and only) snipers. Toffoli had 8 pts in a 9 game stretch, then had 2 games without a point and then drops to line 3. He doesn't score from line 3...but no one did. The solution is not sending TT to Manchester, but putting him back in top 6. Oh well.

And which of the two right wings do you put on the third line, Carter or Williams? Who just so happen to be our two highest goal scorers. That doesn't make sense either does it?

Bottom line is he didn't produce. Add in he's waiver exempt and he's down to the minors.
If anyone else didn't score in that 3rd line spot we'd be bagging on him, Toffoli shouldn't get a free pass because he's a kid or for any other reason.

They must be opening up a roster spot for an incoming player...
No doubt they are trading for a RW
Stars fan here...
Curious about Toffoli. He's listed as a center, and so are Kopitar, Carter, Richards, and Stoll. NHL.com also has Jamie Benn listed as a center so I don't take their word as gospel.
I'm not assuming that because he was sent down he must be on the trade block, but hearing his name does make me wonder - would you guys consider dealing him?
We have Cody Eakin as our #2 center, and he's proving to be pretty decent, but preferably we fill that hole with someone a little more offensive. Could Toffoli be that guy if given the opportunity? Does he have it in him to be better than say a 40-50 point player like Eakin looks to be?
What would it take to acquire him if he would be available?
A free pass? He's 6th on the team in goals with much fewer games played. He's got more points than Dustin freaking Brown. He's had a bad stretch, no doubt, but Brown and Kopi do every year. You don't take skill out of the lineup when you have difficulty scoring, period.
He's a RW and I think most of would not even consider trading him. He's still a rookie.
