Leafs clear up confusion on Calle Jarnkrok following training camp roster omission

His absence provided Nicholas Robertson the opportunity to jump up in the lineup and skate alongside William Nylander and Max Domi during practice. The trio also appears likely to play together on Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres. However, with all the rumours slowly circulating, the Maple Leafs eventually provided an official update, informing the media and the fanbase that the Swedish forward is currently day-to-day with an injury.

Sheldon Keefe further mentioned that there is nothing to be too concerned about right now as it's mostly just a maintenance day for the veteran and that he's "dealing with something that came up in practice the other day and is day-to-day."

Jarnkrok has 3 years remaining on his 4-year deal signed in the summer of 2022 at a cap hit of $2.1 million, but with the Leafs up against the salary cap, he was always seen as a prime trade candidate over the summer. His absence provided a lot of possibilities - mostly for Robertson - but as of right now the Maple Leafs have labelled him day-to-day with an injury, so as far as we know, he should be part of the roster moving forward.
