Rumor: Canucks And Leafs talking — Canucks Targeting Liljegren

[Frankie Blueberries]

I could see it involving any combination of Rathbone, Motte, Schenn.
I would hope not Hoglander or Podkolzin but could see it being a possibility.

 

[JohnHodgson]

Motte and Halak for Liljegren, 3rd and Mrazek (who gets bought out in the offseason unless Ian Clark works his magic on him). Would mean about $1 million for 22-23 and 23-24 and $1.5 million in 24-25 and 25-26 (but by then maybe the cap goes up)?

That Mrazek contract is really bad... I would not take that contract on unless there's way better incentives. $3.8M for another 2 years with a modified NTC?

Leafs would have to retain on Mrazek for us to take his contract back.

Motte and Schenn for Liljigren and a 4th round pick is something feasible.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Halak, Dickinson, and a 3rd

The new halak, Ryder and 2nd lol!

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Losing Schenn would suck, He has been a huge influence on this team.
But if I had to guess, a combination of Motte and schenn for lil and a dump?

No clue, What’s the value for lil leafs fans?

I am thinking with the rumors linking Garland to the leafs and Lilj to the Nucks that is some sort of pkg we see a deal.
On the Leafs side we have our 1st, a few pretty good looking prospects, Lilj etc
On Vancouver the dream addition is Miller but with Muzz out and questionable goaltending I highly doubt Miller is an option.
That leaves Garlund(can't really see this, he has a ton of term left), Motte, Schenn, Myers and a maybe Halak?

If I were a betting man I would bet
Motte+Schenn+Halak for Lilj+Mrazek+2nd+Amirov?

add Halak, we add Mrazek, upgrade the pick to a 2nd and a decent but not top tier prospect?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't think Halak has been a goalie all season.

You got videos floating around of players saying "are you f***ing kidding me?" because a puck slowly sliding past Halk on a "shot" that was fanned on?

We do, Wayne Simmonds after the 2nd Arizona goal on Marazek

That's the bar right now

If they could get a save they'd be up with Carolina they aren't because they can't get a save

Value wise Vancouver takes that, but management has been clear about trying to shed salary, so bringing Mrazek at his number for a couple more years won't be happening.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Liljegren doesn't have the value to get Miller or Garland but he's way too good to trade for Motte/Schenn. I'll personally be pissed off if he's traded. He's been crushing bottom pairing comp, is still very young and held his own playing with Rielly. He is the only defenseman in the NHL to feature on 3 pairings in the top 20 for xGF % and produces offense at a similar or better rate than any dman on the Leafs except for Rielly without playing powerplay minutes. There isn't a reasonable trade involving him where the Leafs come out as winners.

 

[dj Mahoney]

Button called he and Sandin cant miss top 4 ,what changed? More Maple Leaf propaganda

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Button called he and Sandin cant miss top 4 ,what changed?

Nothing has, sandin is a top 4 right now and Liljegren could be a top 4 as soon as next year. Their progression is the reason teams are asking about them.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Oh wow Canucks are interested in good young right shot defenseman and apparently nothing of value is going the other way. This must have legs....

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

I wonder if Myers is a part of this? Makes perfect sense actually

Myers + Motte + Halak
Lilly + Mrazek + 1st

Ive seen Leaf fans saying they would like to beef up the right side and as of next year we don’t have a backup signed, I think Clark could work with Mrazek to the point he has value and we end up flipping him.

I think if you replace Schenn with Hamonic, that deal starts to work a lot better from a $ POV.

I'd be shocked if the Canucks trade Schenn. He has been outstanding defensively, is our most physical player, is a prefect fit for Hughes, and makes near the minimum. I hope he is re signed after next year.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Probably like a Motte/Schenn + Halak

 

[Hitemwith4]

I dont think leafs will trade Lilijegren, leafs need cheap good dman.

Liligren is good dman just developing slower than some (not most) leaf fans had hoped.

But we will see what Dubas & Co think so deadline coming up real quick

Yeah, you're going to get a rookie, ELC RHD pacing for 30+ points who has been playing on the top pair for weeks in return for a couple depth veterans.

Nucks can be interested, i'm sure every team is. He's not moving.

 

[M2Beezy]

Schenn and Dickinson for Liljegren and a 2nd round pick would work for both sides

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Tyler Myers 50% retained, Motte and Halak for Lilijgren, Marzek and 2nd

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Myers + Motte + Halak
Lilly + Mrazek + 1st

unless its a MASSIVE deal
Marner+Mrazek+Lilj+1st for Miller+Garland+Motte+Schenn+Halak lol

 

[SEALBound]

Rutherford actually thought he got Liljegren in the Kapanen trade. Makes sense he’s still after him when he realized he didn’t spell it Lindgren.

That trade would have made A LOT more sense at that point in time.

 

[Kelly]

Schenn and Dickinson for Liljegren and a 2nd round pick would work for both sides

Replace Schenn and Dickson w Garland and I agree.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Myers + Motte + Halak
Lilly + Mrazek + 1st

the issue is Myers cap hit going forward and asking you guys to retain on Myers for 3 years is not going to happen

 

[Makaveli]

If he is traded for players like Halak/Motte/Schenn, I would be PISSED.

 

[TeddyBare]

I dont know who this guy "Taj" is in the vancouver market

Ive seen his other posts in rumors and he is very liberal in misquoting things.
On the last few I followed up on in solving vancouver and toronto and his tweets are so off base on what was said

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

It's really just two years. I think Myers at $4 million is an asset ($2 million retained).
