Everyone is fantasy trading Jakob Chychrun to the Leafs lately. This comes as news that Jake Muzzin in on LTIR, which means he’s not able to play for at least 24 days, but also that Timothy Liljegren and Jordie Benn are healthy enough to go on conditioning loans to the AHL for a few days. That last bit comes with no guarantees of an immediate return to NHL-level action, however.
In the interim, while the Leafs are in California, Filip Král has been recalled. This gives the team seven defenders, 14 healthy forwards (Kyle Clifford is also on IR now) and two goalies.
