With the logjam of a roster that the Toronto Maple Leafs have had this season between the main club and the Toronto Marlies, that extra roster spot can be used up by many players. It seems, however, that this spot is up for the taking by nobody other than Josh Leivo.
After a tough beginning to the season which saw Leivo sustain a lower body injury that made him miss the first few months of the season, he had finally been made “available” by the team on Sunday.
Being put on a conditioning stint with the Toronto Marlies for two weeks at the season’s start had once again taken away from Leivo’s long awaited emergence.
