It was announced yesterday that Timothy Liljegren will miss the next 6 weeks after undergoing hernia surgery. The Leafs also don't have young potential star defenceman Rasmus Sandin at camp either as he is still without a contract.
Now it was just announced that Jake Muzzin will miss atleast the next week after experiencing some back pain:

While this may not sound like such a bad thing being just a week, what fans should concern themselves with is how much time Muzzin missed last season due to injury.
Just yesterday it was announced that Muzzin was healthy and ready to go, but this sounds like he is possibly far from it.
