Timothy Liljegren is not a 4.5 mill defenseman. Ethan Bear just signed for 2+mill,
Kandre Miller signed for 3.8mill, Will Borgen for 2.7mill. All of these players are at least on par with what Liljegren brings. Im ok with the player and what he brings but hes a #5 #6 or #7 on any good NHL defence core. Lets ask what has the player done to separate himself from the player he was last season. Hes done very little with an ice time and role increase and has been dialed back on all fronts recently. On overdrive radio yesterday they have Rielly Brodie McCabe and Benoit as guys that are staying in the lineup moving fwd and into the deadline. Giordano and Liljegren are where the improvement is going to be. Liljegren could find himself in the press box much like last year and Leaf fans want to pay him 4.5 MILL WITH TERM. A player that brings what Liljegren currently brings can be found every offseason in the UFA market.
