I'd say that's an earned promotion from this season.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

We're not worthy...

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It's pretty hard to tell since the Leafs do tend to do a lot of paper transactions. That said, he has definitely earned some NHL games. His skill and playmaking are incredible

 

[stickty111]

Well deserved. A recall sounded crazy some time ago but he's shown a lot of improvement. Do they actually play him though? I'm not convinced. He'd add offense to the bottom 6

 

[Ianturnedbull]

How good is SDA in 3vs3 OT situations?

I think it's an actual callup. Usually on paper stuff, Leafs PR doesn't tweet it.
I don't know if they play him though. Malgin likely takes Simmonds spot, so unless they are benching Engvall or someone else, I don't know

 

[Gilmour1996]

Maybe he's being showcased. Or coach finally realizes Matthews needs some games off to fix what's wrong because something isn't right.

 

[Canada4Gold]

This seems odd. Both Malgin and Robertson should be playing, they're using LTIR so paper transaction shenanigans doesn't make sense, and sitting SDA in the press box here doesn't make much sense. Did they practice today? Perhaps someone else is feeling something and SDA jumps in for them? Not the guy I would have expected to be promoted to play a bottom 6 role either

Please don't be taking Robertson's spot with Tavares/Marner. Even ignoring the Robertson should be playing stuff SDA isn't really a fit on that line stylistically

leafs are on the road... which makes this a bit more interesting in my eyes

having him fly out from canada to dallas to fill in doesn't make any sense

 

[SprDaVE]

He's been great with the Marlies. One of the shiftiest and smartest players with the puck.

Not sure what this means with the roster but I assume someone's hurt.

 

[LeafSteel]

I remember seeing a Petes game during Roberton's dominant OHL season, and he and SDA had insane chemistry.

As much as I've pulled for SDA, he's always seemed to underwhelm and appears to be a long shot until this year's Training Camp, where he looked better than I'd ever seen him.

Hoping this is part of the maturing curve. Wondering if he does get to draw in and play, and even if he does, is it a good idea to reunite him with Robertson, or keep Robertson on 2LW?

Intriguing callup to say the least, and nice to see that it was because of SDA's improved play.

 

[GoonieFace]

That name is too complicated, send him back

Holmberg?

 

[stickty111]

Holmberg?

I thought about him too, but him being a centre and with Keefe caring a lot about it makes me think he won't be coming out. He should be in the lineup anyways

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Interesting. I've often wondered what SDA would do with NHL players. Could be a reasonable option as a set-up man on PP2.

 

[LeafChief]

Are the Oilers actually about to send us something for Simmonds?

 

[ULF_55]

How good is SDA in 3vs3 OT situations?

Guessing he'd take more than 60 seconds to get scored on.

 

[ULF_55]

Are the Oilers actually about to send us something for Simmonds?

Hopefully, future considerations or a 7th. rounder.

 

[ACC1224]

Why?

 

[Niagara Bill]

SDA, ROBERTSON, HOLLOWELL READY TO BE TRADED.

I want to see Robertson get games too, but its clear he's having a hard time keeping his mind up to the pace of the game. He might be overthinking a bit.

Its about time we gave SDA a look anyway.

 

[Menzinger]

The #FreeSDA campaign claims it's first victory

Not much harm in taking a look for a couple games. He's been playing very well

 

[Oscar Peterson]

I’ve always really liked him, excited to see him hopefully get into some games. He’s got great hands.

 

[Mad hatter]

Maybe he's being showcased. Or coach finally realizes Matthews needs some games off to fix what's wrong because something isn't right.

3 goals 5 assists in the last 4 games, I think Matthews is starting to come around
