Liljegren looked so damn good that last shift, toe dragged the Dman to the ground and had a solid shot on goal and then came back into his own zone and calmly carried it out, looking more and more ready each game

I would really like to see him with the big boys at some point this year

He will be up for sure. Keefe already said this. It will be nice when Simmonds and him are back.

This would be very good replacing 26 and 47 and a defenseman with Robertson Simmonds and Lilly

Unlike their forwards the teams defense hasn't missed much or any time due to injuries and some always ends up taking a shot off a foot or falls awkwardly and twists something. We have 7 guys who can play on any given day but #8 is Liljegren and I'm sure he'll get a shot with the way he's playing right now

Yeah, 26 has to go IMO. I don’t like his game. I would much rather Robertson.

I feel like bigger guys who have success in minors I think struggle a bit more to get going in the NHL, maybe because they can’t use their strength as much as an advantage - like they could in juniors.
he took a few shifts before his injury the first game and i already thought he shoulda made the team right away.....he can contribute more to a win than a lot of forwards that has played for us this season...when he gets another chance, i think he will stick and in our top 9, maybe even push for a spot on top 2 lines later on

Robertson is going to be really good. He'll be a spark plug for the Leafs and score some big goals. He has sand paper to his game. He just needs to get up to speed and he'll get a shot soon again most likely.

The skill he has is definitely head and shoulders above the AHL. Still needs to work on strength on his skates though. If he could have even close to a Gallagher centre of gravity then he will be a nightmarish force for opposing teams.

I think playing in the A currently on a conditioning stint is very beneficial to his development until he get his shot again in the Big League

Would be amazing if Robertson could become a Gallagher for the Leafs .. Pretty much exactly what's being missed in the top 6.

Totally agree , it would be great , personally if he had that kind of motor , I actually think he’s got a better upside offensively , and what a shot ....

I hope next time BOGO rests Liljegren gets a shot. Unlikely but wishful thinking.
I want Robertson to come back and just play his heart out there and be a menace.

This game would be an ideal time to insert Robertson into the lineup , he deserves the opportunity
Agree. A vesey benching is long overdue
