Our Camp Crew ⛺️

Here's our roster for Training Camp fuelled by @GatoradeCanada. #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/CVLbA7uz3t
Let’s have that image a little bigger:
As expected, the Maple Leafs are listing both Timothy Liljegren and Pierre Engvall as injured. Mikhail Abramov was absent from Traverse City because of a lingering injury, and Joseph Woll, listed as hurt last spring is still not ready to play.
Details:
Timothy Liljegren will be out six weeks minimum following hernia surgery, per Kyle Dubas.

That will allow the #leafs to start the season with him on LTIR.
Dubas: Engvall (ankle, out until early Oct.) Liljegren (hernia operation, six weeks) Abramov (back), Woll (shoulder) out for a bit.

Marlies players on AHL contracts invited to camp are:
- Joe Blandisi
- Dryden McKay
- Logan Shaw
- Keith Petruzzelli
- Noel Hoefenmayer
- Tommy Miller
- Marshall Rifai/
Other PTOs are Dylan Ferguson and Zach Aston-Reese.
Drafted players invited is one man, Fraser Minten, and Graham Slaggert is the only Traverse City ATO player invited.
This is a very, very serious business training camp, light on extra bodies, and heavy on the NHL-contracted players who are competing for very few spots in the LTIR pool for however long that lasts.
