Liljegren is still a bottom 6 in my eyes. He was a healthy scratch going into the playoffs last year and the only reason he got in was because of holl bad play.

Loose puck battles were just awful in the playoffs this year. They looked like they tried to win them their bodies wouldnt allow it.
Not just those two but the entire teams is slow.
Yeah, he seems like he's 2/3 years away from being reliable defensively and can play against anybody.

He’s terribly slow and will always be cheap so they could keep him for nostalgic purposes if they ever turn a corner.

OEL can't even play on the Nucks who got one of the worst defence in the league. Why would he all of a sudden become solid playing on the Leafs.
Lets not kid ourselves that OEL is the modern day version of Murphy where joining the Wings made him looked great VS being on the Leafs and that Nucks is the 90s version of Leafs and we are the 90s version of Wings.
Mayfield is interesting but he will be too expensive.
I think this year UFA class will all be expensive due to not having top end quality players, thus those at the top will get a huge bump in salaries.

Well, the president was happy with the core, coach and GM, right up until he fired Dubas for the non-committal press conference.

It wasn’t an issue until Dubas made it one.
OT - whenever I see your name I think of the legendary @mooseOak.

One thing we can't say is that he isn't physical capable of being that player. I always thought Liljegren's path of development was going to be slower. Someone who looked as confused and tentative during his early auditions shouldn't be expected to be a fast riser. He's about where I expected him to be at this age excepting those extended stretches when he has looked like he has finally figured it all out. He's only just turned 24. He's healthy (apparently), a good skater and solidly built. He's not Travis Dermott. Better years are ahead of him.
Just for the record, I have no idea who that guy is.

So what's the comparison between me and this moose oak? We share the same opinions.
So the Murray contract is only an issue if Treliving makes it one?
Team should be a legit contender right now. Back then, there were just finishing a rebuild. The Big Three are five years better right now. and in their prime.
It was minor. and it benefited all the young players they had on the team at the time. They gained playoff experience as teenagers and the winning culture in the organization.

Liljegren would have been our worst defenceman in second half of the season even If you brought aki berg back from retirement. What a total shit show. Holl was light years ahead of him and he sucked too

While I have nothing against Kerfoot as a player, he’s an eminently replaceable forward in my view, something the team should’ve realized last summer when they had the chance to sell high when Kerfoot was coming off an unsustainably good point total and an asset could’ve been returned (+ opening up cap space). Alas, they missed their opportunity and now Kerfoot will likely (based on reports) walk for nothing.
That is still the correct call. There is no need to hang on to every replaceable forward, and again, I’d like to see a general shake-up in the bottom six with more players who can contribute offensively and ideally with more goal-scoring ability. That’s the opposite of Kerfoot, who averaged just 1.4 shots on goal per game in his career as a Maple Leaf (and he shot under 10% on those!). It’s time for a change here, in your author’s view

You might be surprised to hear but Frank Seravalli on his Pod cast discussed the other day about a potential buyout of TJ Brodie for the very reason of Leafs new GM wanted to change up the Dcore and too many locked in contracts for next year.
The reason the buyout was discussed is because as mentioned earlier Brodie has a backloaded contract that pays him $7.5 mil in real dollars and in the last year of his contract so not easy to move but more beneficial to buyout.
Here is that reference.
