Pierre Engvall will be re-evaluated on October 3 and is dealing with a foot/ankle issue while Liljegren will be out a minimum of six weeks after undergoing hernia surgery on Friday.
With Liljegren being out a minimum of six weeks, the Leafs will be able to place him on LTIR and get cap relief of $1.4M. That would put the Leafs just $94K over the cap without any other roster moves. Should Pierre Engvall also miss significant time, the Leafs could have $3.65M in cap space to begin the season.
Other injuries the Leafs noted are that Joseph Woll is dealing with a shoulder injury and Mikhail Abramov is out with a back injury.
