I’d take that trade, since Liljegren is an excellent third pair defensemen who’s capable of Top 4 minutes. I will say Sevo is probably worth more than a third round pick, but if you’re throwing Liljegren in the deal, it’s pretty fair.
I will say that the Devils would probably prefer a higher draft pick and one of Nick Robertson, Roni Hirnoven or Pontus Holmberg (Knies is untouchable, Leaf’s would never trade him) over Liljegren just because there’s plenty of RD in the farm. Lastly, from the Leafs perspective, the Liljegren contract is a bargain and I don’t know why the Leafs would trade him over Holl (given he’s a pending UFA).
