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

I would be surprised if Rifai is claimed. 26 year old with 2 NHL games. This time of the year everyone is trying to squeeze their guys to the minors.

68% to 32%

Decisive.

THE WINNER IS....

It’s the result everyone without a weird Liljegren hate obsession was expecting. Lily isn’t perfect, and he’s definitely a guy who leaves you wanting more in terms of potential vs reality, but he’s clearly better than Rifai, it’s not that close.

Is he $2m better than the guys he's competing against?
For me, he isn't.
It's crazy that they went from wanting to trade him, to signing him to $3m x 2, all within a matter of days.
The Samsonov arbitration award really scared the hell out of them and they panicked.
