Sportsnet: Liljegren among potential available Leaf players

[sansabri]

Muzzin and Gudas aren't rentals

I typed that comment before the 2nd tweet was posted.

Liljegren not doing that well now? seems like his hype has been a seesaw... Massive hype before draft, then hype dropped at draft, then HUGE hype again when Leafs drafted him and now hype is low again

It's not the he he isn't doing well. It's just that Sandin has looked very impressive making Liligren the second best defensive prospect in the system. His hype after the draft was nothing compared to the hype before the draft year..

That list of potential names goes downhill fast.

Yeah, if Sandin isn't picked then they don't even think of trading Llljegren.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Agreed, gotta be a long term piece.

Personally if the leafs go for Peitriangelo, it will be for the duration of his remaining contact and so valued as such. Don't think the leafs will be able to afford his new contract that will take him well into his late 30s.

I'm not so sure about that, Matthews and Marner will already be signed and Harton, Marleau and Brown all expire after 2020

That's over 13 million, that doesn't include a rising cap, and it will rise it always does.

The money might be there.

Yeah, the Leafs are in a sweet spot after next season (No one ever mentions that).

Ya but the leafs cant afford another very highly paid player and he will be looking at likely double digits in 2 summers. He will also be 31 and will likely not be worth his contract halfway through so I wouldnt take the risk.

talking about the leafs on hnic when we arent even playing that night lol....kipper is a waste yute

They miss our ratings. HNIC lost $ last night.

 

[Ararana]

Why would they trade the best defenseman from the 2017 draft?

That's why any dman trade has to be for someone signed for 1+ years and a decent cap hit to account for next year.

 

[AdamParrot]

2nd and 3rd for Gudas? Easy NO.

He is underrated. And he is not rental.




Yeah, he would be amazing add for Leafs.

 

[LeafFever]

Not sure why non-Leaf fans want to boast about *maybe* being right once, you guys are beyond BRUTAL with predictions of Leaf players.
Remember what you guys thought of Rielly, Matthews, Marner, ETC.

Gudbranson for Liljegren + 2nd round pick

 

[justafan22]

Gudbranson for Liljegren + 2nd round pick

Why would the Marlies trade for an ECHL player?

 

[smitty10]

Ugh I hope we don't trade him unless it's for a very good player. He's shown a ton of skill and has a lot of potential to be a very good player.

 

[smitty10]

Gudbranson for Liljegren + 2nd round pick

If the Leafs traded anything of value for Gudbranson most people would lose their minds. He's horrible.

 

[Randy Randerson]

Gudbranson for Liljegren + 2nd round pick

Gudbranson + 1st for Liljegren? That's closer

 

[Liferleafer]

You can get Muzzin/Gudas both this year IMO.

Say Gudas takes a 2nd and a 4th (spread over 2 years)

And Muzzin is dealt for a 1st or Liljegren + bracco

That seems like quite the overpayment.

Edit: Read it as and...not or.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Why would the Marlies trade for an ECHL player?

You must be confused. The only player we're discussing that has played in the ECHL is Timothy Liljegren.

 

[Liferleafer]

Gudbranson for Liljegren + 2nd round pick

Well, the thread was going pretty good....let the derailing begin.

? Alex Gudbranson's in the ECHL

Liljegren has been doing fantastic. So well in fact that he was playing top pairing in the AHL as a teenager and was 1st on the Leafs call up depth charts. His injuries have derailed this season and Sandin has passed him, but only due to Sandin coming in an blow away all expectations.

If anything this is a case of "you need to give to get" and Lilly is what the Leafs management have decided to give.

Another thread where posters want to hold on to every middling player/prospect like they are pure gold. Thank goodness actually NHL decision makers are more reasonable.
