Nice straw man.
He'd put up 100+ points, and not learn anything.
No matter how you slice it you don't take someone who has already performed at a high level and then place them in a position where it will be easier for them. That is not the way a person improves, whether it's hockey or something else.
I'm confident the Leafs won't take Liljegren and place him in the CHL to "dominate." He'll be in the AHL of SHL next season for sure. Hopefully not with Rogle because the more I hear about that team the less I want him to be there. A half and half like Nylander did is the best option.
Liljegren hasn't performed at a high level. He played badly, got bounced around, and had his draft ranking plummet. There are legitimate concerns about him as a prospect. He isn't getting proper coaching and playing time over in Sweden, another season of getting no responsibility will destroy him. I don't even think he would dominate the CHL. Good, or even great, probably, but dominate? He wouldn't be the best player in the league.
