Toronto Maple Leafs

Years the Flames missed the playoffs under Brad Treliving: The 2015-16 trades of Kris Russell and Jiri Hudler in what ended up being the worst season the Flames had under Brad Treliving were the closest thing the Flames had to a sell off. The Flames would walk away with three second round picks and a couple of prospects and ideally this would be the results that Leafs fans should be hoping will be repeated.

"It's a special day for me to be here," he said. "Back in October, the team came to me and said, MLSE would like to honour me and celebrate the 10-point game. I thought that's pretty cool and pretty special. Never realized it would come to the magnitude it is here today, but it means a lot to me."

Nylander suffered a lower-body injury during the first period of Thursday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Toronto's star forward registered a goal and an assist before leaving the contest. After the game, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube revealed that Nylander aggravated an existing lower-body injury. Nylander previously missed six games due to the injury, and returned to the lineup on January 10 against the Vancouver Canucks.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going through one of their worst injury periods in recent memory. While the Leafs have dealt with injuries in the past, it's been a while since we've seen anything this bad. Last Tuesday, the Maple Leafs played with a depleted lineup and still managed to shutout the New Jersey Devils. However, that's more of an indictment of the Devils' shortcomings than the Leafs' virtues. Yes, Toronto pulled out the win. But the Devils didn't do much to help their case.
