They Fired Sheldon!
Wayne Train on OverDrive singing Liljegren’s praises and thinks Keefe should give him more rope.
Yeah I heard that. It pretty much confirms that keefe does not have a lot of trust in younger guys. Truthfully it doesn’t sound like keefe is loved in that locker room tbh

Mirtle and CJ have said the same thing.
If he's not moved this tdl, he's probably gone by the draft unless he convinces the front office otherwise over the remainder of the season and then postseason

That last line pretty much shows Keefe doesn't value Lilly. Remember Simmonds would know first hand how Keefe coaches.

Well if thats his last game here, not a good lasting impression. Hopefully he does well in a better system.

Usually falters when it ramps up to playoff intensity or high pressure games. Keefe can't trust him when it matters.

Lily has shown flashes of brilliance but he’s a very timid player and that will limit his effectiveness whenever the heat is turned up. Any team playing Toronto can key in on this guy and make him cough up the puck.

It isn't the system lol, it's the player.
I just don't trust him when the going get tough. His game hasn't evolved and he's so weak for his size, I don't quite get it. Has shown some really good flashes at times, and I actually recall a couple years ago, anyone who paired with him suddenly looked good. Now though, I think he's had too many bad patches and lacks the consistent confidence. Also, his hockey IQ is nothing to write home about.
Good depth, but right now I don't know honestly what he is on this team?

It's time to move on
Reminds me of Dermott. We thought there was more, but there wasn't
Too soft and really lacks competitiveness. Especially when he was killing that penalty
He just doesn't have that factor it takes to grind it out.

I know a lot of people are down on Liljergren right now, but I really do think pairing him with a Huge veteran D like Edmundson will calm his game down.
When we remake the defence in the summer, I say we flip him. But right now we need him playing good.

I wouldn’t make a rash decision and trade him though, unless we are big game hunting, he does have some value. I’m fine keeping him as a seventh D, he is good depth.

Man if he gets dealt and we get a nothing return back thats just pain
Dermott, Sandin, Lilijgren were supposed to be the chosen three to build the defense after Rielly
So much hype, promise and once regarded talent

Do the Leafs even know how to develop Dman?
Like we have Reilly but he is okay in the defensive side. If not for his natural abilities, he might just be like Gardiner.
Sandin has his speed problem but otherwise he is solid.
Gunnersson, Stralman even Schenn left and somehow found success or at the very least better than with the Leafs.
Now there is Lilly.
Can the Leafs develop Dman and Goalie?
