Liljegren has done nothing but prove hes any more then a bottom pair defenceman. A year ago he wasnt even a playoff regular for the Leafs and he gets a 2mill raise. U gave a 2nd pair guy in Roy 6mill over 6 years but dont want to pay Zadorov 4+mill to be a 3rd pair guy. Lets use this logic all the time with both Zadorov and Liljegren.
Tanevs value would likely be a 2nd. If its far and above that, like this trade suggests the smart move would be to not overpay and just offer him a contract as a UFA.
Robertson for a 2nd does nothing for the Leafs. If thats whats on tbe table the Leafs just keep him.
Minten and Cowan are not both going to be on the team next year. Cowan is 2-3 years away and Minten didnt look like an NHL player in his 4 regular season games hes probably a year or 2 away from regular NHL impact.
