Morgan Rielly’s eight-week (minimum) injury timeline comes at a time when Trevor Moore, Ilya Mikheyev, and Jake Muzzin are all already on the shelf. It all adds up, but the loss of a couple of middle-six forwards, for a team with the Leafs‘ depth upfront, obviously isn’t as taxing as the loss of their two top minute-munching defensemen at 5v5. This will be a major midseason test of the team’s depth and resolve at a time when the Leafs are in need of a response to one of their worst losses of the season in Florida.
