Prospect Info: Timothy Liljegren - AHL Edition

[biotk]

The guy basically missed a year of development. Wouldnt be surprised if he takes a while to work out the kinks in his game.

He played 62 games last year.

 

[Duffman955]

He was recovering from mono for much of the season, which lead to inconsistent play and league rotation

It's still taking Jake Gardiner

 

[diceman934]

Why would Marlies release him to the WJC?

It is not up to the team but the player who has the right to choose. He will be going unless he is with the Leafs as then they have the right to choose for him.

 

[diceman934]

Kid is going to be a star.

 

[zeke]

3pts in his first 4gms as an 18yr old dman in the ahl and people are criticizing him?

Good write-up on him here from Corey Pronman (The Athletic): https://theathletic.com/129280/2017...aple-leafs-defence-prospects-are-progressing/

[Trapper]

Don’t you love this site?

Either perfection or you’re awful

And if you are awful, you'd still better be perfect at it.

 

[Battle Lin]

its all about the defense and decision making in the defensive zone, cause hes got nhl speed and offensive skill already

 

[Shayne Corsi]

Wow Pronman seems bullish on him. I think I'll conveniently ignore all of the times I think Pronman is way off base and just assume he's correct in this case

 

[Amadeus]

This guy needs at least 2 years of development. Need to be patient with him.

Not even. He is way better than that.

 

[Menzinger]

Pronman has a certain type of player he likes - pure skill guys.

I remember plenty of folks came at him for saying Nylander was at one point the best prospect not in the NHL, yet his praise seems totally justified there in retrospect

Would it not be determined by whether or not they have signed an ELC?

I would think, once under contract, the club would have the final say.

Nylander played in the WJHC from the marlies didn't he? when he got concussion? or was he with modo and that was when they switched him to the marlies

edit: either way he and kapanen for sure had ELC's at that world juniors,

2nd Edit: Nylander played in 2 WHJC after having signed a ELC

 

[Gary Nylund]

I would think so too. I really hope he gets to go either way, would be a great experience for him.

That's the right answer to the wrong question.

Absolutely. He'll be there for sure!

 

[Walshy7]

That's the right answer to the wrong question.

which I was going to follow up with, im pretty sure there is a rule they have to go to WHJC if invited and not in the NHL I was looking for the link

edit: I worded that poorly, im sure if the player didn't want to go he could say no, but the NHL team cant say no

This is pree much right, idk if the NHL is literally not allowed to say no or its just they always let the player go because its what the player wants and you want to keep them from holding any grudges against the team
