There is no doubt that this has been one of the more interesting and exciting versions of the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp in years.
And, subsequently, the Toronto Maple Leafs – through no fault of their own – are going to have to make a pretty stupid move.
The NHL rules dictate that if you were drafted from the CHL (one of the three Canadian Major Junior leagues – the WHL, the OHL or the QMJHL) you cannot play in the AHL unless you are 20.
That means that the Leafs are going to have to send two players who could play in the NHL right now, back to their junior teams where they will be facing off against players who are not good enough to challenge them or help them to improve.
