I'm not seeing that anywhere. Not that I doubt you, but, where'd your info come from?

Yeah sorry, I had just seen a couple of tweets referencing it when I posted - but seems like everyone's source is that transactions page.

Trade? I mean, I know that they don't have to recall him to trade him right? But do they actually need him with the Leafs? Showcasing him?

Yeah. Not that I doubt the AHL either, but, it's curious that there's nothing from the team or from any of the major media sources about this yet.

Likely just as an extra body for the west coast road trip, but, it could also mean someone else is heading back to the farm.

Probably because they're going on a 3-game Western road trip with only 6 healthy defensemen. Likely just insurance, but wouldn't be shocked if he gets a look.

Isn't Fraser just about due back? I guess he's not ready until after the trip.

The latest update on Fraser had him back in the first week of November, which would be after the trip, yes.

DarrenDreger: Liles called up by Leafs. No injury issues. Need 7 D for western road swing.

They do actually need a D-man pretty badly... unfortunately Liles isn't the type of D-man they need.

Against Brian Burke's Calgary Flames, maybe...?

By all accounts he is by far and away the best dman in the AHL.
Pretty surprising given the production of Brennan.

According to a Marlies blogger, he's been the best defenceman on the Marlies this season:

Unfortunately the AHL doesn't provide ice-time stats, but I can only imagine he's been getting Phaneuf-like playing time down there.
