Canucks pass.IMHO.

I've seen similar offers to the Canucks, I'm sure a team would make that trade if Leafs wanted to move him.

Canucks decline. Value is probably about right, just don't see Liljegren as a fit for the Canucks. If they part with a 1st, it's probably for a young LHD similar to Hronek as they already have Hronek/Willander for the right side top 4 but there's a spot available in the top 4 on the left behind Hughes.

Leafs don't have any of those to trade. I bet the Oilers would pay more than that for Lilly.

I think the Leafs would be better off keeping Liljegren if they are just going to use that money to sign Tanev at 3.6M. It would be no good to have their entire right side, except Timmins, be aging guys. There would also be no need to have Lybushkin if you have both Tanev and Brodie, just play Timmins and put that money towards signing an experienced goalie since they might need to run with 3-guys if Woll has a sophomore slump. If Tanev costs more like 3M, Brodie 2.5M, then keeping Liljegren if he costs like 3M should be possible and then Timmins can go since they have Hanifin.

Probably too little for Domi, I could see him take a discount if he gets 7 to 8 years but probably still needs to be above 3M.

I don't see Kane signing that deal with the Leaf unless Nylander ends up leaving. He wants to get paid fairly but also wants to go somewhere where he's needed. If by failed run with FLR means that he did terribly, then I don't see why the Leafs would have any interest in signing him. They would more than likely be looking for a budget Tyler Bertuzzi.

Value is nowhere close. A 1st + 2nd got Hronek, a Top-4 RHD with a year remaining.

Liljegren is a year younger than Hronek was at the time of the trade, has less than half of Hronek's minutes and points, would be an unsigned RFA, and hasn't seen the same level of competition. At most, he's worth a 2nd round pick.

He could get a late 1st maybe, really depends on the team.

Would you trade a 1st for a defender who is U25 with 1600 minutes, and 38 points since 2020?

Good takes. That was pure speculation, lets say it was a team/matchup thing and Kane is looking alright. Hanifin to Toronto odds looking low, and keeping Lilly high. He ain't going anywhere now that he's injured, hopefully makes a full recovery this season.

Willander is two years out from being on the team and four from being impact so I wouldn't pencil him in just yet to the top 4.

No, but luckily Liljegren has 43...I kid. He's only been a regular since 2021-22 season though, in that time he has 42 pts in 138 games (0.27536 P/G) which isn't bad at all. My biggest concern would be his injury history. That being said that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't take a chance if it's a late first, and they like what he brings defensively. He's probably not going to be the offensive dynamo that he was projected to be, but he has the puck-moving and shooting skills where it could be hoped that he does produce more in the coming years. In years 3 to 5 Rasmus Andersson produced at a 0.3P/G rate and between years 6-8 it's up to 0.62. Another example would be Hanifin who was producing more than both in years 3-5 with a rate of 0.38 and at 6 to 9 he's at 0.48. So, if Liljegren can put up 30 pts (.37) per season that wouldn't be bad at all, if he puts up more then even better.

Other examples

Brodie 0.41 and 0.48 (6th to 9th)
Pesce 0.3 and 0.39 (to 9th)

A guy not producing a whole lot of offense though won't fetch a 1st unless maybe there's something in his advanced analytics offensively or defensively that pushes him from a 2nd to a late 1st.

Leafs decline to move lily in season in the offseason maybe who really knows and leafs also decline flames vasy overpayment

Actually, the reason I asked that is that Calen Addison has that amount, very similar to Liljegren, and he went for a 5th-round pick and a C-tier prospect. Liljegren isn't getting a 1st.

I highly doubt that Liljegren would get a 1st but like I said if there could be a reason a team gives up a really late 1st if they really like him. Calen Addison is an OFD that's not producing, Liljegren is a TWD that isn't producing.

Minnesota couldn't be bothered to keep him around with their cap crunch when Faber at the time had the same amount of points but 1 goal. Addison wanted a raise this off-season but had no arb rights so he held out as long as he can to sign. Next off-season, he's arb eligible and he would likely get more money than they would want to pay him but too low for them to walk away from. So, he's just a guy that lost favor in management and was replaced with Bogosian. If they waived him they would have just lost him and got nothing, upgrading a 7th to a 5th and getting a C-prospect (that they might like - like ARZ did Douglas when they traded Timmins for him) is better than nothing.

Now, it's quite possible that Toronto could dump Liljegren for pennies next off-season for cap reasons, but that's not really an indication of what he could fetch now.
