Prior to the deadline, <a href="https://twitter.com/Steve_Dangle/status/1505360190513852416" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Steve Dangle reported</a> that the Leafs were <a href="https://twitter.com/Steve_Dangle/status/1505892737178079232" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">trying to move</a> Menell, who wanted a shot at the NHL level that wasn&#8217;t given to him with a crowded blueline in Toronto. He will get said chance on a Flyers team that is closer to the basement than a playoff spot so he should be able to get some playing time with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, hence why they acquired the defenceman.
The move opens up a roster spot that the Leafs could use to sign anyone of their choosing. There are reports that Kyle Dubas is looking to sign @Nick Abruzzese and @Matthew Knies, the latter of whom Dubas did not want to move in the infamous botched trade for @Marc-Andre Fleury and @Brandon Hagel.
In 20 AHL games, Menell produced one goal, four assists, and five points.
