Maple Leafs Announce Two Massive Roster Changes Just Hours Before Game
The Toronto Maple Leafs are generating trade rumors, and recent roster moves are catching attention.
After a back-to-back in New York, the Maple Leafs are set to face the Columbus Blue Jackets in Toronto tonight. Following a road trip plagued by illness, the Leafs seem to have overcome those challenges, as they've announced the demotion of Bobby McMann and Max Lajoie to the Toronto Marlies.
While this move could be a routine transaction as players return to the lineup, it raises questions about potential shifts in the roster. McMann and Lajoie, on the bubble for the Leafs, see a return to the AHL at an intriguing juncture. Is Brad Treliving, the Leafs' GM, finalizing the long-rumored trade for a defenseman, or is it a sign that Timothy Liljegren is ready for a comeback?
"Timothy Liljegren is joining the morning skate here. He has yet to get into a practice, which is usually when the team can start talking about a return to the lineup."
Both scenarios would bring good news to Leafs fans, eagerly anticipating the GM's next move.
