44 is Rielly good
Either one could bust or be a stud, but Liljegren looks most likely to become a top pairing dman IMO. Good thing we don't have to choose, but his hockey IQ seems to be sublime. Great defensive awareness, makes the easy/right plays, head always on a swivel, and knows when to pinch.
We are getting close to having a log-jam of defenders, but we need to improve on our top pairing RHD. I don't know if I want to give up on Dermott yet (he looks like he could burst through as a high end top 4 dman any second), but I am curious whether Dermott plays RHD or gets shipped off for an improvement. If they sign Muzzin, there isn't any room for him on the left side.
