Great signing. I was thinking closer to 1.8 given Dermott got 1.5, but wow 1.4 is a steal for Lili. Him and Gio were our best pair for most of the post deadline season and they only cost us 2.2 mil for the next 2 years. Huge W
This deal essentially saves cap space based on expectations/comparables...
Most people were expecting 1.5-2m.
Great value and sets the bar low for Sandin
Assuming the Leafs can sign Sandin for a similar deal and less than what Holl is making, the Leafs could trade Holl and start Liljegren and Sandin in the top 6. Saving cap space while arguably improving.

I bet they still hang onto Holl unless they find someone a touch cheaper to be their depth defenseman.
