Player Discussion: Liljegren Is Back

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Unbelievable. What the f*** could’ve possibly happened? He was training just fine this summer.

This site is not healthy for you.

I'm not sure this site is healthy for anyone.

Unbelievable. What the f*** could’ve possibly happened? He was training just fine this summer.

I know, right? Sigh ...

Could be a strain or break of literally any part of his body.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Now we know why Holl was not traded .. too bad for Lily guy has gotten some really bad injury luck in junior and pro .. was he training with boys at Ford and got hurt?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Young players getting injured in off-season lol.
Wtf man. Wonder what it is..

All those amazing Swedish metal shows over the summer. Same with engvall haha

 

[IPS]

All but confirms that the pairings will be Rielly-Brodie and Muzzin-Holl to start the year. Gonna be a whole lot of blaming goaltending, that's for sure!

Probably won't be the pairings but that's an excellent top 4 if they are.

4-6 week injury timeline based on dregs.

Not terrible. Could be worse. So likely misses somewhere between 1-3 weeks of the season

 

[IPS]

Probably won't be the pairings but that's an excellent top 4 if they are.

So what are we looking at for pairings then?

Over training

 

[notbias]

There you go. Players who miss training are always a step behind the whole year.

Didn't Matthews miss camp last year?

So what are we looking at for pairings then?

I'd be surprised to see them break up the dominant playoffs matchup pairing of Muzz-Brodie tbh.

I could see any of Gio, Sandin, Holl get a look beside Rielly.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hopefully he can properly recover so he’s not hampered all year

He’ll have a slow start but that’s fine as long as he improves

 

[Knies iT]

The details will come out tomorrow, but he was doing sled pulls around a month ago, so it's relatively recent. 4-6 week timeline could be anything, but i'd guess a low ankle sprain. Hoping it's not a knee related injury.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

And this is why you use all the time you have not to trade away players, with Engvall hurt and Lilly now hurt, there’s room for Holl and Kerfoot.

Good thing HFboards doesn’t run the leafs.

More room for Holl is not a good thing

 

[Amadeus]

Didn't Matthews miss camp last year?

He is not of this world.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I guess it would be better of it's an upper body injury and he can keep working his legs. Either way it's shitty news as I was so looking forward to his development maintaining it's steady progress.

 

[justashadowof]

Is this unnamed injury the real reason why he underperformed in 2 games then was scratched?

 

[ponder]

Shitty - the wording, and the fact that they seem confident he’ll miss all of camp, suggest this is a significant injury. Hopefully not too bad - Lily is on the cusp of becoming our 2nd best RD, behind only Brodie.

 

[notbias]

He is not of this world.

Fair, I am sure there are other examples, but I don't think it is guaranteed he won't perform well. Hoping it is something upper body and he can keep skating.

 

[NewEraGM]

Probably won't be the pairings but that's an excellent top 4 if they are.

What top 4 are you looking at?!?!

 

[Menzinger]

He'll be in the lineup on e healthy enough.

In the meantime Leafs gain some added cap flexibility

 

[rocketman588]

Unfortunate for him he was really looking good to end the year last year

 

[zeke]

What top 4 are you looking at?!?!

The Leafs elite top 4.
