Lost Art of Dynasty
17. Toronto Maple Leafs - Timothy Liljegren, D, Rogle (SWE)
NHL Central Scouting final international ranking: 6
2016-17: 19 games, 1-4-5
Liljegren (5-foot-11, 188 pounds) missed one month with mononucleosis in November but remains a dynamic prospect. He has tremendous speed, balance and feel for the game, makes good decisions under pressure and can control the play at both blue lines. He expects to return to Sweden after the draft to further his development.
NHL.com analysis: Entered season as top defenseman in draft class, but injury and illness set him back. Maple Leafs needed puck mover and get one with top-end that some scouts said reminded them of Senators captain Erik Karlsson.
