Even if Andersen is OK and either misses no time or just a single game, the Leafs desperately need to find a safety net. Because even if they manage to escape this latest episode unscathed, there’s no telling what the post-deadline world may bring.
“But I’ll tell you this. When Kyle Dubas traded for Kapanen, people were down on him. He had a bad world juniors that year, Pittsburgh was down on him. But Kyle Dubas believed in him. Kyle Dubas is a fan. I think he would trade him in the right deal, but I don’t think this means he’s necessarily gone.”
This has steered the discussion on that front towards Minnesota’s Matt Dumba, but really, the Leafs could be in on anyone.
