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

[member 262271]

Never thought we'd get Liljegren. So pumped!!

 

[sxvnert]

Can't believe we drafted him at 17th

 

[Steven1562]

Could be the steal of the draft if he pans out. Reminds me of Fowler and Chychrun falling when will GM's learn?

 

[SEER]

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..

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

[Leaf Rocket]

I'm more happy then when we picked Matthews

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

 

[Stigma]

I remember two years ago, thinking we should tank two years in a row and hope to god we get one of Matthews and Liljegren.



lol.

Holy. I remember you and others saying this. Wow. What are the odds?

 

[ashs]

What a pick by the leafs... Woohoo



I don't know anything about him.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

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

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Liljegren at 17

How did he fall this far

 

[Daisy Jane]

So, suggestions

Rahmus Dahlen let's start hoping from now

 

[Legendary]

This management does it the right way. 100% trust

 

[I Am The Stig]

Man, I thought this draft was just going to be uneventful, not as much hype obviously from last year. But man did this pick deliver. How did he fall to us??

"Timothy Liljegren: The Swede is the undisputed top defenceman in this draft and, at this point, it's not even close.
Scouts say his offensive game is far more developed than his defensive game. He is an elite skater, both in terms of speed and agility, and adept at running a power play. He is seen as both a puck mover and an offensive point producer. No one is suggesting he's the next Erik Karlsson, not by any means, but scouts say he has some of the same qualities and, therefore, has the potential to be projected as a possible top pairing defenceman in time." - McKenzie last year

 

[Loosie]

The last time we selected someone who missed a good portion of their draft year, it wored out well for us as well.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Now make a trade and grab hague lol

I'm not a huge fan but I'd be okay with this. Two homerun cuts.He probably goes to Winnipeg though.

 

[hotpaws]

I can't believe it. I can't believe our luck these days!!!! ***'A!!!

GOD BLESS MONO!

we have Shanny to thank for our luck turning when he broke the curse of Keon

 

[dubey]

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.

 

[Daisy Jane]

okay i get we're all elated. but if he dropped to 17th are there question marks? tell me about our newest baby.

 

[Le Cobra]

MATTHEWS MARNER NYLANDER + LILJEGREN COACHED BY BABCOCK MANAGED BY LAMORIELLO

If anyone told me this would happen back in 2011...to get the best picks for the right positions that have chemistry....

ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!

 

[cookie]

This is like the perfect present for WTFMAN for his special day

 

[Cor]

Still can't believe it.

I'm shaking still

 

[Club]

Excited to see how he turns out

Also happy the Sabres took Casey

 

[Diddy]

Rahmus Dahlen let's start hoping from now

Even of dahlen falls he's not gonna fall all the way to 31

 

[Budsfan]

Who did Boston take....Who cares we got TIMOTHY LILJEGREN!

 

[phillipmike]

Leafs have taken the guy who i wanted in the 1st round in the last 4 picks...

William Nylander - 1st on my board
Mitch Marner - 3rd on my board
Auston Matthews - 1st on my board
Timothy Liljegren - 1st on my board

This is awesome especially after the disppointing pick in Gauthier.
