Good for the Canucks, yes. But that is a terrible trade for Toronto. Everyone jumps on them for needing a RHD who can play top minutes. Liljegren is one of the top defensive prospects in hockey and he's right handed and projects to be a top pairing guy eventually. Why would Toronto trade the very thing that everyone is so Hot for? Liljegren is a non starter for any deal for a defenceman. It just doesn't make any sense for them to make that move. And before you say, they are in win now mode, just stop. They are in win for the next 7 years mode. So they won't make trades that'll jeopardize the future for something that will make the team a bit better now.

The Leafs would have a hard time finding cap space for Tanev for next season, so that makes the trade difficult. They'd likely need Vancouver to eat half his salary which I do understand will drive up the price. But by himself, he's worth at most a late 1st rounder. If you retain salary, then the Leafs would likely add another asset but nothing more than maybe a 2nd or a b prospect.
