Let me mosey on down to the schedule to see who we’re playing tonight. Ottawa? Aw man. Wait, what do you mean we have to play the Sens twice in a row? NINE TIMES THIS SEASON?! That is way too much. Well, we have to start somewhere. Please let it be an easy night for everyone wearing blue. ### Various Leafs Branches [The Leafs were sloppy, and that’s not ok in the first game of a shortened schedule](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/the-nhl-is-the-show-not-the-rehearsal-maple-leafs-opening-night-performance/) | by Katya [Optimist vs Pessimist on the Leafs first game of the season](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-montreal-canadiens-recap-assorted-thoughts/) | by Arvind [European Report: Stretch Drive in the KHL](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/maple-leafs-european-prospect-report-stretch-drive-in-the-khl/) | by Katya [The story on the mainstream was finding the line on cross checking](https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/auston-matthews-agent-questions-abuse-star-players/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | by Luke Fox (Sportsnet) In cap news, the Leafs swapped Alexander Barabanov and Mikko Lehtonen during the off-day in order to give Lehtonen a day of NHL pay. The lineup will be unchanged for Game 2 as Barabanov is going to be brought back from the Taxi Squad. This was all done via paper transactions. The Leafs did not gain or lose any deadline cap space with this move as Barabanov and Lehtonen make the same money in the NHL. I was hoping they would bank as much space as possible on the off days, but alas. > The Leafs have sent Alexander Barabanov to the taxi squad. > > But... this is purely a cap maneuver to get Mikko Lehtonen up and some NHL pay. Barabanov expected to be back and playing Friday. Lehtonen is not. > > Going to be lot of weird cap shenanigans this year. > > — James Mirtle (@mirtle) [January 15, 2021](https://twitter.com/mirtle/status/1349920603038388224?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Zach Hyman is officially a father!
