With now almost two weeks into the 2025-26 NHL season, the Toronto Maple Leafs may be finding things difficult at times in managing their roster. That is because they have been forced to make healthy scratches of players that would normally garner ice time on a nightly basis. For instance, despite having already three goals on the year, Calle Jarnkrok had to see time in the pressbox recently after bringing Steven Lorentz back into play.
As a result, with too many abled bodies but not enough spots in the lineup becoming a regularity, with Scott Laughton due to return some time later as well, the Maple Leafs will likely need to make a move or two to free up their roster.
