Speculation: Any interest in Liljegren for a mid round pick?

[Funk21]

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?

Such a dumb idea

Seems like not too long ago Flames, Vegas, and Leafs fans were arguing about who was better... Liljegren, Brannstrom, or Valimaki

It was kylington not valimaki.

I'd be all over that from SJ.

I don't see that being likely. Our defense is pretty stuffed as is and really solid. I doubt Lilly helps return a good enough player to actually upgrade the defense.

On his own? No. But I meant as part of a package. Probably as the necessary cap dump. Ideally, you'd want McCabe pushed down.

I actually think he would be a perfect reclamation target for San Jose. They can afford to take his bloated salary with no worries. So long as the price is cheap. Possibly a deadline move so Toronto can free up cap space for something bigger.

McCabe is an awesome #3. Where do you think he should be? There is probably 2-3 dcores he is a bottom pairing guy on in the league

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.
Unless they just sign 1 of the 2 and move Jarnkrok but IMO that's the worse move.

What is this need you speak of? If the Leafs need to sign him, I don't think the odds of them going far in the playoffs is good.

Isn’t this a guy headed for waivers though?

Rutta 50% retained, and a pick was the first thing I thought of when reading this thread.

Leafs get a replacement player at a much lower cap hit. Sharks get a guy that can grow on a rebuilding team, for a minimal price.
