BREAKING Andreas Johnsson Out Long Term After Surgery.

"The Toronto Maple Leafs provided everybody with an update after keeping it quite for awhile. Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters that Johnsson will require surgery on his knee. «After time with our doctors (it was determined) he requires surgery,» Keefe said on the call, «and there will be an update after at least eight weeks.»
It's a tough blow for both sides as Johnsson was having a solid season with 21 points in 43 games so far this season. It's also a tough blow for the Leafs because he was rumoured to be one of their main trade chips heading into the trade deadline. The two other names that have been mentioned are Kasperi Kapanen and Alexander Kerfoot as possible trade chips.

Andreas Johnsson needs surgery on his knee. He'll be gone at least eight weeks.
