Maple Leafs use LTIR space to recall Nick Robertson, Victor Mete, and Wayne Simonds
Toronto Marlies vs. Stockton Heat, Nick RobertsonMaking the best of a bad situation, the Maple Leafs have used their cap relief on the injured Matt Murray’s contract to expand their roster to 23 players.
As announced by LeafsPR this morning, defenseman Victor Mete will join the big club in addition to forwards Wayne Simmonds and Nick Robertson.
After he by all accounts (including Sheldon Keefe’s assessment) earned a spot through training camp and exhibition season, Robertson will join the team with the opportunity to feature in the lineup against brother Jason Robertson and the Dallas Stars later this week as well as take the road trip through his home state of California in late October.
