Value of: Timothy Liljegren to the Maple Leafs

[Morgs]

On a somewhat related topic, if Liljegren is off the board by the time the Leafs pick at 17/18, is there any chance they trade the pick? I know it's unlikely and may only be due to the nostalgia factor, but I'd love to see Cal Foote get drafted by the Avs. What would be needed in addition to 31 in order to get 18? Obvious guys are unlikely to be included, is there anything left that gets it done?

Bigras +. Maybe EJ straight up (or we could add a Leipsic level prospect if necessary)

As i said leaf nation pay up or find a trade higher up for him cause he would get picked by us Pick someone else then see if i mind at all

Kings can go right ahead and pick him. If the Leafs ever put Nylander on the table for a D (they won't) Liljegren would be about 20th on the list of targets.

Liljegren still living from the hype? If you want to trade up for a dman who turns the puck more over than makes simple passes and can't find open lanes to shoot, then go for it.

Leipsic is not a player la wants We are still going to be big physical team So i highly doubt anyone under 6 feet gets drafted on the kings. So no other way around it because i want a 1st round pick with whatever pick the sweeter is. I don't want 2 prospects as i trust our development of a player more then the leafs.

Are you? Is Boston still a "big physical team"?

Wouldn't trade Kappy for your pick which is probably valued at 15ish ovr in a normal-good draft

FYI Nylander gets Doughty +, not 10th

LOL what? Nylander does not get you close to Doughty, let alone does LA add too

Nylander doesn't get Doughty alone....let alone a Plus.

As a leafs fan, I apologize for this poster.

Considering contracts,yes

The + was an exaggeration though

Unless the Leafs move into the top 10 it won't happen

 

[Finnish your Czech]

There is always a counter its called negotiation. Every trade starts high then there a counter and some back and forth . wow first time i think leaf nation ever gives up on a trade proposal lol Shocking However u want to give up that early fine.

This isn't real life and you're not the GM of the Kings, so I don't know why you're trying to negotiate a trade on a hockey forum.

It still doesn't. It would be nylander+

 

[Liferleafer]

I am a Leafs fan...hardcore, wouldn't trade the big 3. But you don't land a legit 1D for Nylander alone.

This, Zero chance do i see Toronto landing Liljegren. I would be shocked if he makes it's past Detroit unless one of Heiskanen or Makar are available around #7 and Detroit chooses one of them over Liljegren.

Bigras +. Maybe EJ straight up (or we could add a Leipsic level prospect if necessary)

I wouldn't give up Bigras alone for 18. And EJ isn't part of any realistic conversation if a mid first is the main piece coming back.

 

[boredmale]

On Bobby Mac's latest ranking he has Liljegren 12th

http://www.tsn.ca/patrick-hischier-in-tight-race-for-no-1-in-tsn-draft-ranking-1.736258

Wonder how much more he will fall by time the final rankings come out(I heard he had a not so great Under 18s which should drop his value a bit more)

 

[Pyrophorus]

If he's falling past 12, I wait.

Ah my apologies. I thought you guys considered Bigras on a Dermott level tier. I've always liked him.

Yeah, well that's why I said we'd add. EJ is a perfect choice for a defenseman to be put beside Rielly.

No, no he doesn't.

Nylander for the 10th pick if hes there

I wouldn't trade Nylander for Hischier or Patrick, let alone tenth.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

What would it take to get this guy I've never seen play before on the leafs?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I wouldn't be shocked if he fell to #18 or to the 2nd round even.

Seems like a silly player to trade up for. More hype than substance.

Draft boards are always crazy to me once you get past the top ten but I think it'd be silly if say, you're picking at 13, and you pass on a guy who was considered going #1 just months ago. I get that every year there's a guy or two who slips, like we saw with Chychrun last year, along with Esposito,Cherapanov etc of years past, but, I don't know how you pass on a potential #1 that far into the draft. I'll be ecstatic if he's there at #17/18. I'll also probably be disappointed as we'll pass on him for someone else like we did with Konecny. That still bothers me to this day.

Well I guess you can rule out Liljegren being a Kings pick. Considering he's listed at 5'11, I guess he's not cut out for Kings hockey. Best move on and ask for Crosby for the Kings pick. Nevermind, too small. How about Gaudreau? Nah. Marner? Nope. Patrick Kane? Damn, still too small. See where I'm going with this silliness? The fact that you call out leafs prospects for being too small, while asking for Nylander who's also skin and bones...yikes. You're all over the place. It's as if you have no idea what you want. Kings hockey is physical, I get it. But, you also need skill to win. Not all your players can be bruisers. Hell, your team employs Gaborik. The guy is soft as butter and made of glass.

 

[Halla]

Nylander for the 10th pick if hes there

leafs wouldnt trade Nylander for the #1 pick, so yeah #10 is laughable

 

[7even]

He is exactly what leaf nation needs. A young cost controlled right handed top defense man in leaf nation time line. That will cost you

He's an 18 year old defense prospect with no guarantees that's dropped from top 2 to top 15 in 8 months. Its common knowledge you hate the Leafs but in what fantasy Middle Earth realm is that worth a cost-controlled 20 year old 1st line forward

 

[TMLegend]

I'd rather just take Cal Foote and call it a day.
