The Toronto Maple Leafs made some interesting moves yesterday, then it turned out that it was all just a tease.
Sunday afternoon greeted us with quite interesting news: The Toronto Maple Leafs were recalling Kirill Semyonov and Joey Anderson, both of whom are off to great starts with the Marlies.
They were also demoting Timothy Liljegren, who now appears to be one of their six best NHL defenseman, which was another surprise.
Turns out it was all for nothing – just some salary cap machinations with both teams off Monday.
Semyonov and Anderson will both play for the Leafs this year (and arguably would be just as good, if not better than Wayne Simmonds and Nick Ritchie right now) but we’ll have to wait for their debuts.
