Ah shit, wonder if it's a boxer's fracture.. The bone in his hand that is on the outside connecting with the pinky.

I broke that bone is a similar fashion a decade ago and it was the same sort of recovery

Encouraged with Engvall's play that he can step in and make an impact on a regular basis.

Still, wondering if this does move a trade forward. Should give the Leafs some cap space, no?

They don't really have another guy that can be that grinder type 3rd wheel for the top 6. Hyman isn't ever leaving the Matthews and Marner line. Simmonds was actually really helping the PP and I thought Nylander & JT looker better.

Wonder if there was any interest in Bennett if this has kind of fast forwarded things a bit.

Simmonds is a big loss as he represents a big portion of Leafs toughness.. His fights this year have been momentum changers, and he has also made an impact on the PP and contributed offensively as well.

Leafs skilled players are going to take more physical abuse without him in the line-up.

Depth matters.

Wayne seems to respond well to lengthy absences, might not be the worst thing.

Definitely sucks. But at least he will.be back.

Hopefully one of the guys now sees this as an opportunity to earn some more icetime

Hopefully someone in the bottom 6 steps up physically in his absense
