Confirmed Trade: [SJS/TOR] Timothy Liljegren for 2025 SJS 3rd round pick, 2026 SJS 6th round pick, Matt Benning

Yeah, but he also picked Sam Dickinson instead of Zeev Buium. That one potential blunder itself might end up the biggest of his career.

You're talking about Walman and Liljegren like they're top 4 guys after their teams dumped them for next to nothing. And Dickinson was drafted less than 6 months ago and you're already acting like you know picking him was a blunder. I don't think talent evaluation is your strong suit.

I liked Lilly but the guy couldn't win a board battle with a chainsaw and a machete. Exposed regularly on any zone pressure and got caved in sheltered minutes. Terrible puck handling giveaways... in tense moments he has the "yips" with the puck. And you want to promote him to top pair against top competition? Say all you want about coaches he's had, but they are surrounded by intelligent voices all day too. They saw what everyone else did. If he can't handle being "converted to a 2-way 5-6 dman" to earn a spot then he sure as heck can't handle the "#1-2D slot with #1PP time".

Hope the best for Lilly he'll finally get minutes and may prove us doubters fools.

He looked like a stud when Rielly was injured and took his spot. In order for him to thrive he would needs those minutes which gives him the puck in the ozone rather than the dzone. It would be like putting Kessel on the 4th line with 6 min a game and wonder why he isn't scoring in an energy role.

Sharks getting good value. This was a low cost and low risk trade for them to test out. I was hoping the Ducks would take a shot and swap out lefty Vaakanainen so we would have another righty dman even if we needed to get bigger and harder to play against.

Crap, there goes any value I had on that liljegren Marlies bobble head I have.

A lot of professional scouts picked Dickenson over Buium lol

Based on this thread it looks like liljgren will be the most picked up W.W player in the history of fantasy hockey....

You're telling me Brad mismanaged a young player and as a result lost him for basically nothing?
<- this is my shocked face

Check back when Tanev becomes too injured and old to play in the top 4 and the Leafs need to fill that hole externally, probably about a year and change from now.
