Not familiar with Johnsson, look forward to checking him out.Pretty big slap to the face of Martin and Leivo that they want to get Johnsson in over them...but he's totally earned it.
Johnsson-Plekanec-Kapanen until Matthews comes back is a hell of a 4th line.

The @MapleLeafs have recalled forward Andreas Johnsson from @TorontoMarlies (AHL). In addition, defenceman Calle Rosen has been recalled on emergency basis.
Why wouldn’t they recall Holl tho?

So excited to see Johnson but I really hope Leivo can stay in the lineup, too.
I believe Borgman got hurt shortly after being sent down....Not sure if he is still out or what's been going on with him other then that though that was my first thought as to why he wasn't called up. Though it may just be that with the Leafs basically being locked in to the spot they are in they are taking the chance to dip farther into the depth to see what they have. Specifically with someone like Johnsson who will need waivers next year it seems pretty smart to take a look at him before hand.Holl is a RHD, they need a LHD.
I’m more curious about Rosen being called up before Borgman
Assuming these are the lines at practice.
Hyman-Nylander-Marner
Marleau-Kadri-Komarov
JVR-Bozak-Brown
Johnsson-Plekanec-Kapanen
Martin
Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Carrick
Rosen-Polak
Leivo-Moore
Aho is literally carrying the Hurricanes, Marner is behind the HUGE shadow of Matthews in a rather comfortably role. Aho is way, way better AINEC.
I thought Borgman was injured but not sure if he ever got back in.Holl is a RHD, they need a LHD.

I was thinking the call up was to replace Zaitsev on the right side, hence questioning it.They needed to call up a LHD, hence why Holl wasn't called up.
Johnsson - Matthews - Marner
Marleau - Nylander - Kapanen
Leivo - Kadri - Brown
____ - _____ - Hyman
awesome top 9 for next year.
