I'm betting on Holl.

Rielly-Brodie
Sandin-Liljegren
Dermott-Lyubushkin

Holl

I don't see why his job would be on the line. Dubas has had what? 2 full seasons on the job? Mix in a couple half seasons.

He's made some moves that I hated but overall, has done his job better than well.

I personally think it'd be premature to get rid of him.
- GreatGigInTheSky

It’s just his pretend I don’t hate the leafs shtick. When we’re winning he disappears faster than those fools from the Canucks blog.

Jake Muzzin is resting in Toronto now. Leafs will be patient. "It's positive today in terms of how he's responded," says Keefe.

mhm

I'm glad he didn't bounce right up... I think often the pressure that's on the althletes lead them to get up too soon... just think about Tavares in the playoff game last year

a couple of concussions that close together time wise doesn't bode well for JakeM.

that being said - Dubas cannot afford to be indecisive here.. he must operate from a position of assuming the worst - that Muzzin will not return... he doesn't need to make a huge singular splash... he maybe better off going for two defenders such as Gavrikov and Soucy

and Dubas should NOT be hesitant to move Sandin or Lliljegren if he can get back more quality in return.

I’m not a fan of moving those two young guys. However now that Rielly is long term a puck mover like Sandin might be able to go. My god keep Liljegren tho… he’s only a rookie but that guy will end up being one solid shutdown defender.

Not a direct comparison.. but this I believe was the jist of the Eichel saga.

I’m just primarily wondering who gets the final call when it comes to the cap hit

Lyubushkin plays tonight, Holl sits. Keefe was not going to use him at first, worried the new guy was not acclimatized and hadn't skated for two days, but his enthusiasm to go won the coach over.

Good news.
And the leafs should be very patient with him.

Danny Markov 2.0? Jersey ordered!

My wild guess is "no", as you would need a medical recommendation to put a guy on LTIR.

As most contracts are insured, it would be fraud to say a guy is injured without medical paperwork.
- Atomic Wedgie

That makes sense to me…. I suppose I can see a doctor agreeing to it however if it’s a team like the leafs who will simply keep paying the player millions and the doctors for whatever they charge

Jersey ordered!

Enthusiasm and Leafs locker room in the same sentence would've been something eh

Oh? What’s the pairings?

If it’s a change from earlier it looks like it’s going to be:

Rielly Brodie
Sandin Liljegren
Dermott Lyubushkin

Good news.

- Fakepartofme

Agree, he should be ready to go on May 2, 2022

If that's the way it shakes out.. I wonder about the minutes..

Don't need anyone else getting hurt before the Wild game..If it gets out of hand before the end of the 2nd.. just roll that 3rd pair for 20 minutes in the 3rd.

Looks like this now:

Morgan Rielly - TJ Brodie
Rasmus Sandin - Ilya Lyubushkin
Travis Dermott - Timothy Liljegren
