Looking at the current cap situation and D depth chart its looking like Liljegren is the most likely to be dealt.
Any teams take him for a 4th or 5th?
Any teams take him for a 4th or 5th?
no, he is getting 3 mil per yr and looking like a 7th D man, I have a feeling no one is going to pay much for a bottom pair guy making 3 milLol u are drunk bro...
not really, its IMO7D? Has Rifai leapfrogged him?
The goal/plan was he should be a top 4 guy but he just isn't taking that next step. He would be a good option on a team lacking D depthTimmy would be a good fit on a bad team. He has a couple tools but overall isn't good.
Issue is we need to sign Patches and Lorentz, we're 1 mil over the cap and I suspect about 875-1m each for Patches and Lorentz meaning dropping Lilj's 3 mil makes everything work.No reason to trade tim. Tanev and hakanpaa tend to be injured

Unless they just sign 1 of the 2 and move Jarnkrok but IMO that's the worse move.
I don't know the return but it's delusional to think there aren't teams that would take a chance on him.
A 25 year-old RD with a few years of NHL experience and 2 years on his deal @ 3M? That's a low risk gamble with potentially a decent (but modest) upside for a GM that needs help on the (right side) blueline.
In a vacuum for sure but its the start of the season and most teams may not have the flexibility to take on 3mil with 0 cap going the other way25 year old right shot d-man with multiple seasons of NHL experience for a 4th round pick?
Every GM in the league would do this
You would think so, but the coaching staff seemed to him placed as the 7-8th D.I don't know the return but it's delusional to think there aren't teams that would take a chance on him.
