Speculation: *Rifai vs. Liljegren. It's a thing and it's happening.

[Ianturnedbull]

Liljegren got punked by *Rifai today. *Rifai seems to have grabbed the attention of Berube/Treliving.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like Liljegren might be a cap casualty soon.

6th D is Benoit. Can’t see them dropping Lilje for Rifai.

I think it's more likely they carry 8D to start the season than Liljegren being a cap casualty.

 

[hamzarocks]

if treliving signed lilijgren to 3M and then tries to trade him a few short months later to play a #3 AHL D-man in his spot he should be fired on the spot

lilijgren should either be given legit games to be a top4D who can rush the puck and play an offensive transitional game or he should be moved in a package for soneone like that who is older and more experienced

Liljegren got punked by Rafai today. Rafai seems to have grabbed the attention of Berube/Treliving.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like Liljegren might be a cap casualty soon.

Might wanna learn how to spell his name before hyping him over Liljegren - it’s Rifai, not Rafai.

I prefer Liljegren, much more skilled, on a different level as a puck handler, puck mover, passer, skater. I’d give him the edge defensively too, although Rifai is definitely bigger and more physical.

Treliving likes big d-men and I'd bet Berube does too so let's see how this plays out.

The jpeg chart posters have said Liljegren is a top 4 defender for 4+ years now, how could this be?

I'm done with Liljegren. He just a guy. He doesn't do anything particularly well. He makes too much to be "just a guy".

Man, its gonna be a sight to behold when we get Stralman'd again.

Stralman was an average player with an average career. Why do leaf fans care about the average players that got away?

Sort of need a balance here though between skill and toughness, not just 6 big goons

I agree. But begs the question why management didn't just trade him before signing him to 3 mil.

He needs to be in the lineup for that much money.

Mirtle has even said the front office was considering a trade earlier in the summer (or at least wasnt sure about Lily's future), but I guess they got cold feet
