GDT: 2017 NHL Draft | LEAFS SELECT TIMOTHY LILJEGREN! | Part II

[mcleex]

Someone start a "Who's better Liljgren or Karlsson" thread on the main boards to troll everyone

 

[SnizzMitch]

What a Year!!!

It was Playoffs or Liljegren...
And finally it's both!!!!!

 

[TheBigThree]

When he was projected to go #2 in the draft I was the one wanting us to tank. Now we have him and we made the playoffs. THANK YOU HOCKEY GODS

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This is why you don't trade your first round picks boys. Building for the future.

someone needs to photoshop a pimp outfit on Lamourello

lou walks like a mafia boss lmao

Still amazed at that Lou walk. That was beyond legendary. What an absolute gun

Omg.... my life will be incomplete until I see that mob boss strut again. It's as if he had the Godfather theme playing in his head.

 

[supermann_98]

WOW!!

Dreams do come true... This guy was my #1 D-man "hope" for the draft..

Very under-rated, just because of having mono. this past season..

D-Force: Timothy Liljegren 2015-16 & 2016-17 Extended Highlights - 2017 NHL Draft Prospect (HD)



Now we need to snap U.P. for the net...

​

All I see is our very own Kris Letang in these clips .... EXACTLY what we need on our team.

Potential #1 Dman and disgusting to think how crazy our PP is gonna be in a few years

 

[SeaOfBlue]

LiljeGOAT

Yeah same.

I made a promise that I must now keep

Turns out we couldn't tank for Liljegren so he tanked for us, as Timothy's biggest mark I'm as happy as when we got Matthews

 

[Daisy Jane]

"Lets tank for Liljegren"

Nah lets make the playoffs and still get him at 17 anyway. So happy Nashville won at least 2 round to bump us up to 17, that could have made all the difference. Can't wait to win the cup next year and draft the dropper Dahlin at 31

I'm so pumped it's taken me 2 more picks made just to post

what's it that Babcock said? do good, and good will do right by you?

Nothing. He is perfect in every way.

okay thanks.

apparently getting mono completely negates a player's value

so him dropping is just the mono thing? lucky ducky Leafs then.

Missed a lot of the year due to mono, came back to soon. Had his IQ called into question but I don't doubt him a bit. I think he'll be our #1 D

Thanks Diddy

Nylander +5-10 overall for him??

nooooooo shttttttt

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Matthews
Nylander
Marner
Liljegren
Rielly
Kapanen
Kadri
Andersen
Gardiner

Is this even fair for the rest of the league

 

[thewave]

Leafs win the draft. Hands down.

 

[kk87]

Yeah, there's a chance he busts. But even on the off chance that he does, if nothing else, this pick just reaffirms that our management team has the right mindset and knows the direction this team should head in.

 

[Dog]

Come on leafs trade up a 2nd and get late first here. Go after Yamamoto, Timmin, and or Oettinger.

[MJ65]

That's a HR - never expected that

 

[firstemperor]

Sounds like a boom or bust pick

If he was a surefire #1 he would have gone earlier. We're lucky that we are in such a good position to go all-in with picks like this.

McPhee came up big for us. Suzuki and Brannstrom are in no way projected above Liljegren. If Jets have one of those picks, Liljegren is probably off the board.

I think Tampa just liked Foote more. They were the other team that I was concerned about. Teams like L.A, Florida, Carolina needed scoring. Perfect storm for us.

 

[Morgs]

YOU TAKE THAT BACK but holy **** this is fun lol

Haha hahaha.

Draft lottery?? Way more stoked.

Matthews was more of a sigh of relief.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Still quite surprised at pick 20 we haven't seen a trade yet .. Seems like one trade would have happened

 

[garce]

Right hand shot, rushing defenceman do not come around often,steal.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Who is still on the board? Any fallers left?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Seriously feels like we just added another top 3 pick to our system, this is amazing.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Solid pick by the Blues. Would've liked Thomas if Liljegren was off the board

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Liljegren at 17

How did he fall this far

how cool would it be kostin to drop to 59
