After a whirlwind 48 hours, David Rittich played well in his first game with his new team, which happened to be against his old team. (reporterchris)

“We’ll see how it goes,” said Keefe, not referencing any of those players directly. “We’ll take it a day and a game at a time, but that is my thinking, yes. Both our roster and salary cap situation are different here now so we think that’s going to present us some opportunities that we haven’t had up until this point.There were times earlier in the year when the Leafs couldn’t recall a player because of how it would impact their ability to manage the cap.

Soon Keefe will be flush with options, and he’s a coach that likes to use every resource at his disposal. Nick Foligno and Ben Hutton have started serving seven-day quarantines in Toronto after being acquired in trades and are due to meet the team in Winnipeg next week. William Nylander is also expected to be cleared from the NHL’s COVID-19 Protocol list in the coming days and could make the road trip as well.

There really isn’t time to carve out a specific niche for everyone before the games truly start to matter in the playoffs, so keeping an open mind is going to be important. In that way Rittich set an example at Scotiabank Arena during his Leafs debut, making a strong first impression under challenging conditions.“Loves to chat. Very talkative in the room early on and settling in nicely,” added captainIt’s an exciting time for Leafs new and old.

The message sent from Dubas during a busy trading period where he added without subtracting any regulars from the lineup reverberated through the dressing room.. “That they’re doing everything they can to prime us for a playoff run. We’ve just got to do our part.maple-leafs-rittich-impresses-challenging-circumstances
