If the Leafs make no other trades then here’s my best guess what’s going to happen tomorrow:
- Barabanov and Marincin will be sent to the taxi squad.
- Foligno and Nylander will be placed on COVID Non-Roster.
- The Leafs will then recall Barabanov or another forward on Emergency Recall following the Foligno/Nylander placements. (Note: doesn’t matter which forward is recalled, the Leafs can swap them day to day)
- That recalled forward can be sent back down after the trade deadline later due to being on Emergency Exception.
- Eventually Andersen will be activated and Hutchinson returned to the taxi/AHL also as he’s on a Emergency Recall as well.
