Booth (foot) has been sent to AHL Toronto for a conditioning assignment, James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail reports.

Analysis:

Booth was able to resume practicing Monday and appears fully recovered from his broken foot, but because he hasn't played in a game since Sept. 28, the organization wants him to test things out in the minors first. His assignment isn't expected to last beyond the weekend, perhaps allowing him to make his season debut for the Leafs on Wednesday in Pittsburgh.
