With Johnsson out, a major hole opens up in the Toronto Maple Leafs roster.
That first line winger alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander is up for the taking for a short time

Only time will tell whether or not Aberg works out on that first line, but if he doesn’t, there’s one specific player who comes to mind who should be moved up.
