Thread: Thoughts on trade value of Sandin Liljegren Robertson and Bracco
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Okay, what is Cal Foote worth then? Or Pierre Oliver Joseph? And who does Liljegren push out of TO's lineup on the right side? Holl? He's been terrific. Barrie? Not a chance a 20 year old rookie pushes him out right now. Ceci? Well he's fine on the bottom pair. So where would he play without an injury giving him a chance?

There are reasons why most defenders don't get much playing time until they are 22-24 years old. Your lack of patience wouldn't suite young players well. I guess Evan Bouchard is worth a 2nd by now as well.</div></div>

First, Liljegren have been a ''sliding'' prospect since the beginning. At some point, in 2017, he was projected to go top5. Then he dropped until 17OA. That doesn't makes him a bust now, but he is clearly not in the top of the crop of 2017 D class with Makar, Heiskanen, Brannstrom and Jokiharju. You would clearly invest a 1st rd pick in those four guys. But for guys like Liljegren, P-O Joseph, Cal Foote, Vaakanainen, they are not worth a 1st until they have more NHL experience. They are projects at this point.
