Apologies for not posting this weekend, but it's okay as nothing really happened other than an AHL trade and Bortuzzo doing Bortuzzo things

1. Toronto Maple Leafs forward Alexander Kerfoot has been suspended for 2 games, for boarding Colorado Avalanche defender Erik Johnson. Must have been upset his autographed jerseys were selling for $20 on the NHL Shop.

2. A story has arisen out of Toronto during the Father's Weekend road trip in January of 2017. As the story goes, Mike Babcock was frustrated with Mitch Marner for his perceived laziness in the first half of his rookie season. According to multiple sources, during the aforementioned Father's Weekend road trip of January 2017, Babcock asked Marner to rank his teammates' effort level that season in order of 1 through 20, ranging from the hardest working to the laziest. Marner obliged, and per multiple sources, put himself at the bottom of the list, with both parties agreeing that he needed to work harder without the puck. What Babcock didn't tell Marner was that he was preparing to show this list to some of the players who Marner had ranked towards the bottom. According to multiple sources, Marner was in tears after the details of his list were shared, while his teammates were furious - specifically with Babcock. They couldn't believe their head coach would put a 19-year-old in that situation, especially considering how well-liked Marner was in the dressing room. Mitch Marner was close to requesting a trade out of Toronto over this. His agent talked him out of this. Seems like Babcock caused a lot of locker room issues.

3. Micheal Ferland (concussion) will join the Canucks in Pittsburgh tomorrow. Agent Jason Davidson: "I talked to Micheal yesterday, he is feeling great and excited to rejoin his teammates."

4. Mitch Marner is out for a skate before Leafs practice. He suffered a high-ankle sprain 16 days ago and is expected to be out at least another two weeks, per original timeline.

EDIT 11/25/19 12:13 PM PST
5. The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled goaltender Michael Hutchinson and reassigned Kasimir Kaskisou to the Marlies (AHL).

6. The Calgary Flames have activated TJ Brodie off Injured Reserve and reassigned defender Brandon Davidson to the Stockton Heat (AHL).

EDIT 11/25/19 4:15 PM PST
7. Florida Panthers reassign goaltender Samuel Montembault to Springfield Thunderbirds (AHL) and recall Chris Dreidger.

8. St. Louis Blues have sent down Klim Kostin to the San Antonio Rampage (AHL). Troy Brouwer ready to go.

9. Pittsburgh Penguins activate Kris Letang off IR.
