He was literally our best player on a team with 4 11M players just two playoffs ago and put up 68 points in ‘22 and 58 points this year. Grasping at straws, ya someone is. Lilly plays against inferior competition with massive oz starts and Rielly plays against the best every single night. Not even comparable.

Hopefully, but isn’t he a little on the small side, especially if he’s a bottom 6, for what Berube likes for size with his dmen?

Comparing one bad signing to another doesn’t make the case you think it does………

I need more FOOD
True I suppose its kind of asset management. I think Lily can improve his game quite a bit. If he cannot play Berube style he will be dealt. But I think his trade value will improve under Berube so we can get something decent back for him if for some reason he doesn't pan out. I do think he will improve quite significantly under Berube does that mean he will stick around or not I am not sure..,
I legitimately don't understand why they kept him.
He has never had morethan 23 points in a season so he doesn't really provide offense
He's not particularly good defensively
He doesn't hit
Doesn't fight
Doesn't block shots
Has never played a full season
legitimately what does he actually do?

Rielly was an excellent signing at 7.5M and full 8 year term. Some of you need to step back and actually get some perspective.

He hears footsteps too often. Imo
Sweet.
If we could just ink Marner to an extension, and then work on getting Tavares done, I reckon that's the key for us going deep. We are so very, very, very close.

He's already an every day 3rd pair D. Arguing otherwise is non factual
Liljegren did get #4 TOI for the regular season but was really horrendous in the postseason.
3Mx2 is not a backbreaking deal as much as it is people just wanting to see the defense be re-modeled, atleast most people in this thread from what I've seen.

Don’t worry they’re both coming buddy. 12.75x8 and 6x6. But it’s ok, Tanev and somehow downgrading in net will do the trick just gotta hope Woll is healthy.

It's also non-factual to argue he didn't struggle and wasn't a healthy scratch at times.
That's the sort of consistency I'm talking about.
I don't hate Liljegren, but he's got a lot to prove. This is a sizeable cap hit for a question mark in my mind.

Also, too much for a 3rd pair D that sees no playoff time.
I read that apparently we are out of the big name UFAs and linked to Big Z (But now we can't afford him). If that's the case, then I am very disappointed that our "change it up" is adding Tanev, and probably OEL... Lol.

I'm okay with this, but I really applaud the entertainment value in this thread.

It doesn’t, you’re right. I just find it funny how people are up in arms about a 2 year $3M AAV signing, but praised the $7.5M AAV for a liability on the backend.
No thanks.

Signing Lily just means we're priced out of UFA dmen, which means we're signing Mitchy, which means there's no hope for a Cup for at least 15 years.
- 8 years Mitchy contract
- 3 years of teardown
- 4 years of rebuild
It does provide part of the explanation as to why Keefe was fired though. My guess is that management thought more highly of Liljegren than Keefe did. Holl was basically Keefe’s boy.
It’s called lowering the AAV by extending the contracts. Math.

The big thing is he needs to stay healthy. He loses his momentum after he gets hurt
