In breaking news, this key Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman was absent from practice today, sparking discussion about the reason why.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are poised to make roster moves coming up in the next day or so, given they have so many players returning to the lineup. With that, all eyes were on practice today to see who would be bumped and how the lineup would shake out.
Obviously, there could be any number of reasons why Liljegren is absent, as he has suffered injuries this past season and could be taking a well-earned maintenance day. However, this close to the deadline, anything out of the ordinary is a call for speculation.
