Why Would the Toronto Maple Leafs Cut 4 Players and Play Short-Handed?
The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to get a few players back from the injured reserve.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have started the year without Zach Hyman, Travis Dermott and (more recently) have also been without John Tavares.
While people act like they’re some kind of disappointment, they’ve literally got three core players sitting in the press box every night.
Four if you consider that, thanks to an absolutely preposterous schedule, they’ve played three sets of back-to-back games (3 of 11) so far, and that means Andersen has had to sit out for over 25% of their games so far. (Improbably, they play another set tonight and tomorrow).
