While the Leafs have a good start of the season, earning two victories in their first two games, the Canucks are matching that pace, defeating the Oilers in two consecutive matches.
Lafferty contributed two points in these confrontations.
His promising performance has left some speculating about the potential heights the Leafs could have reached had he remained.
Though the Leafs have a packed bottom six, Lafferty's presence would have brought additional depth.
