Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] D Timothy Liljegren signs extension with the Maple Leafs (2 years, $3M AAV)

[Michoulicious]

Bring back ALL THE BOYZ!!! They have proven their worth.

Domi, Bertuzzi, Nylander, Liljegren, done!

Now extend Marner, Giordano and Tavares! Let's go!

 

[Strangle]

I wonder if the leafs are still looking at trading Lilly

 

[Strangelove]

People using "Well the cap will rise" on a 2 year contract is LOL.

It's a good excuse for a seemingly-high long-term contract though.

I don’t love the player, I don’t love the AAV, but 2 years isn’t ’long term’ unless you’re 14 years old

Reading over threads like these is a reminder of why the media focuses so much on the Leafs. So many of you hate the Leafs more than you like your own team.

$3 million AAV is nuts. Literally outplayed by Benoit who got less than half.

Granted, Keefe hated him and he should do better under almost any other coach

Maybe it’s just poorly written and I’m reading it wrong

Let’s hope so

At least half is true

Wrong again.

This is SO nothing to worry about.

Tomorrow is July 1st, WTF is going to happen? I want some crazy shit to go down.

Lilly getting a 2 year deal and bringing out the trolls............

I can see him being a solid D man that you wish could be better. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Strangle]

Wrong again.

Oh well I guess I’ll have to just find a way to move on, knowing I will never fully understand

Not a big deal

Apology accepted.

Not a good contract. Too much…should be $1.5M per

 

[McJedi]

Next up.

Marner resigns 8 years x $11.95mm per. Full NMC.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Should be 2 million a year.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Must be betting on him still having some real development ahead of him. I don't think he's terrible or anything but god this guy is soft. Maybe Berube can get more out of him.

Another premium price for a premium position. RHD are doing well for themselves already this summer.

 

[sxvnert]

Should be 2 million a year.

Shouldn't have qualified.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Noooooo

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Lots of money for a guy that gets scratched every playoffs

he got scratched once this past year and it was to put Brodie in... which was a huge mistake

FIne deal. He's better than Sandin who jsut got like 25m from washington lol

 

[seanlinden]

Considering he's still a #5 defenceman... and that it walks him to UFA at the first possible moment, this deal seems a little on the rich side.

I feel like if you're giving him $3m, which does make him overpaid for what he is, you should at least have gotten that 3rd year.

 

[Schennanigans]

Must be nice to underperform at work and still get a raise.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Liljegren should have used the Calculator and realized he could make more else where.

 

[RoadWarrior]

Shouldn't have qualified.

Let’s allow a mobile RHD who put up points last year at even strength and PP go for nothing while other teams are trading first rounders for them…. Real genius.

 

[biturbo19]

Not a terrible deal, considering he's arb eligible and had some potentially decent leverage. Curious though, if this actually makes him potential tradebait. Now that he doesn't have a troubling arbitration award potentially looming, he'd be a lot easier to trade if Treliving is really serious about retooling the whole blueline.
