The Toronto Maple Leafs are rolling along this season despite dealing with some injuries up front and some question marks on the blueline. Add to the fact that backup goalie Jack Campbell is injured as well, and you have to be pretty happy with the Leafs start to the season. Not everybody is happy though. We heard Rasmus Sandin complain about playing time recently while Travis Dermott and Mikko Lehtonen get switched in and out of the lineup. Early reports had Dermott on the trade block but a recent report by NHL insider Chris Johnston had the Leafs more willing to move out Lehtonen. Have the Leafs given up on Lehtonen already?Head coach Sheldon Keefe made some pretty interesting comments recently. While Keefe has been impressed with Lehtonen's power play skills, he's not as impressed with his 5 on 5 play."Still doesn't look comfortable out there ... we have a break & we'll continue to work with him in some areas of development where we would like to see him get better now that we have lots of examples & film of him playing in the NHL"What do you think of Keefe's comments?
