It’s going to require a collective “stepping up” on the backend if the Leafs are going to stay respectable without Dion. While Gardiner and Rielly will need to take ownership as the most talented members of the Leaf blueline, this trade presents an opportunity for both Martin Marincin and Frank Corrado to prove themselves in regular duty.
The Calgary Flames may scratch some key figures tonight for disciplinary reasons.
As @RealKyper suggested, Gaudreau, Monahan, Bouma likely out of CGY lineup tonight for disciplinary reasons. May be playing 11 F and 7 D.
