So we are currently three games into the 2021-2022 NHL season and the Toronto Maple Leafs already have roster issues.
With Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek’s health status up in the air after leaving Thursday night’s contest against the Senators with a groin injury, the team’s depth is diminishing quicker than the NHL can make up new rules.
Forwards Auston Matthews and Ilya Mikheyev are already out of the lineup with injuries, and centre Adam Brooks was claimed by Montreal off of waivers last Sunday. Top prospect Nick Robertson still needs seasoning in the minors and 2020 1st-rounder Rodion Amirov is suiting up in the KHL again this year.
