The Leafs are currently without
Mitch Marner (shoulder),
John Tavares (COVID), Alex Kerfoot (COVID), Wayne Simmonds (COVID), Jason Spezza (COVID) and
Brett Seney (Hand). A player with Ho-Sang's abilities could be extremely useful on
Auston Matthews' wing, but will he be able to stick in the lineup when the Leafs finally get their lineup healthy again? Is it worth it to lose a talented player to temporarily plug a hole in the lineup? The Leafs have already lost Adam Brooks and Michael Amadio to waivers this season.
