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

[I am Canadian]

Would Logan Stanley be something Leafs are interested in?

Saves the Leafs ~1.8 million in caphit, plays a style that fits more with Berube's philosophy, is 6'7 that seems to be what the current Leafs brass are looking for and a local boy as well.

Leafs have Phillippe Myers to play that #6/#7 role. It's not a bad proposal but I don't see the benefit for the Leafs.

I really doubt they get anymore more than a 3rd for Liljegren anyway

This is something the Canucks should be in on, only problem is making the money work, not sure how they'd do that.

What's the timeline on the return of Demko and Joshua? I noticed they are on IR, but not LTIR, so when they come back can send Bains and Silovs down, and be in the area of being able to take on that contract with about 25% retention.

Leafs retain 50% and then get another club to retain 50% of that and TL could have a taker.

The question is if Toronto wants to retain (recall Elliotte saying they don't), and the Canucks are comsciously trying to accrue/bank cap space so they have more come the TDL.

Would Liljegren be worth that opportunity cost?? Not sure, but they could rly use a RHD atm.

Liljegren is worth more to the leafs then any realistic trade rn. we should not be looking to move him at all, unless it for a big fish and hes a piece in the trade.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

There is zero chance Leafs retain on Liljegren

Here's the problem with trading Liljegren -- the deadline.

If you look at this team right now, and potentiall what they'll need come the deadline, the only real standout glaring weakness is that of a #3C. Up front, beyond that, they already have 15 forwards on the roster, plus Fraser Minten eventually in the AHL, and theoretically Alex Nylander as well. Easton Cowan a late season addition too.

On D, you trade Liljegren, and the group in my view looks awfully thin, especially if somebody gets hurt (which you have to assume will happen). I feel like you're going to trade Lily today, and be shopping for a defencemen at the deadline (assuming he's traded for picks / prospect.

Yes, the Leafs need to move off at least 1 body here (as Jarnkrok/Hakanpaa cannot come off LTIR due to cap space issues), but I'm not sure it's the best idea unless you can do a "hockey trade".

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.

Him and the leafs top prospect for pinto

Him and the leafs top prospect for pinto

Sens aren't going to trade Pinto at all, they are trying to compete now. As much as I'd love to get Pinto on the leafs it's just not realistic.
