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

[Rare Jewel]

We could sign Patches for 1 yr 1M and and Lorentz for 1 yr 775k and if we demoted/traded Timmins and Jarnkrok, it fits on the cap.

I am not sure there's a market for Timmins. Every team has some player who's similar to him. Even Pit, who has the closest ties to him, will probably just wait for the waiver wire.

Jarnkrok may, but I'd rather move Kampf.

 

[therealkoho]

He was probably drafted too high and has always been thought of as a bottom pair D. He’s never been fast, but he hasn’t been strong enough, and maybe with added weight he’ll improve. He’s played under 200 games.

The biggest issue is the GM forgot there was a salary cap when he signed him.

Although I don't take his opinions too seriously.

I think CBJ could take Jarnkrok

Maybe another year with Kampf

Timmins is waiver wire but if someone like LAK who had injuries wanted to make sure they got him, a 6th-7th in the next 1-2 years is sufficient.

3rd line D like Liljegren need to be more physical.

14 goals in 196 games is 3rd line.

I remember when he was drafted and how many were saying he projects to be a bottom pair D. When he eventually made it to the AHL sentiment was confirmed by those that watched him. Appears they assessed him properly.

Only 108/109 ish defenseman to have ever scored over 100 goals in a Career so you would be right if you knew anything.

 

[Maple Leaf]

luligren is signed 3m or someting crazy like that Tre overpayment sttyle

 

[RoadWarrior]

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".

You need depth on D to succeed. Lilly is a good depth piece with some offensive upside. Much like Timmins but he’s more durable.

There’s no way Rifai makes the team. He plays tough but is at best an injury replacement in the NHL. He’s a lousy puck mover.

 

[GoonieFace]

Lily is pretty vanilla. If he wasn’t a former 1st rounder and RHD, he would have been cut loose long ago

This tracks... it's why we held onto Sandin or it is why Timmins has been given all the chances in the world.

Maybe they just see more potential?

He's paid too much to be depth. That's the problem.

 

[namttebih]

Lily paired with Rafai and Benoit and Timmins paired together again. I think it’s more to do with Berube liking Timmins more than Lily. Rafai is 8th on the depth chart at best.

I don't disagree with that. But Rifai makes significantly less - when talking bottom of lineup guys. Hard to pay over a million for a guy who spends more time out of the lineup than in.

He is, but he should be on the 2nd pair, IMO.


But that is the issue with Treliving. He can't even trade the players he seemingly doesn't want.
