Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Ready to return
Rotowire
Timmins (illness) told reporters he has "turned the corner" and would be ready to play when needed, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports Tuesday.
Timmins must still be activated off injured reserve before returning to the ice. The acquisition of Ilya Lyubushkin will only push Timmins further down the depth chart even once eligible to suit up. As such, fantasy players can likely pursue alternative options moving forward.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Back in lineup
Rotowire
Timmins has dressed for the Leafs' last two games after being scratched in 13 of the previous 14 games.
Timmins has offensive talent, but he can't crack the lineup with consistency because of his own-zone limitations. However, should an injury hit, he has the ability to step in and deliver on the power play. Timmins isn't roster worthy right now, but remember his name if he gets a decent opportunity.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Healthy scratch again
Rotowire
Timmins was a healthy scratch in the Maple Leafs' last two games.
The return of Timothy Liljegren has rebalanced the blue line, and Timmins is the odd man out given his defensive restrictions. He's more of an offensive option, so watch for him to draw into the lineup as the seventh man or if one of the power-play guys gets hurt. Either way, Timmins probably shouldn't be holding a spot on your fantasy roster.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Suits up at forward Tuesday
Rotowire
Timmins played 9:12 in a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Timmins moved up to forward Tuesday night, and he ended up delivering one hit and one shot. It's his second appearance this month and since February. Given the depth of the Leafs' blue line, Timmins is likely to be a black ace through the postseason. However, he's inked through 2024-25 at a modest $1.1 million, so he could earn a 5/6/7 role next season.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Heading to Leafs
Rotowire
Timmins (upper body) was acquired by Toronto on Wednesday from Arizona in exchange for Curtis Douglas, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Timmins hasn't played in the NHL since Oct. 15 because of the injury. However, he was sent to AHL Tucson on Nov. 8 for a conditioning stint. He has three assists and 12 PIM in six AHL contests. Toronto is missing defensemen T.J. Brodie (oblique), Carl Dahlstrom (shoulder), Jake Muzzin (cervical spine) and Morgan Rielly (knee), so if Timmins is ready to return, then he has an opportunity to play a big role with the Maple Leafs.
