Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] D Timothy Liljegren signs extension with the Maple Leafs (2 years, $3M AAV)

No one is blaming Keefe for everything. But maybe he’s not infallible so his choice to scratch Liljegren for one game doesn’t define Liljegrens season…

The narrative you are stumbling around is that shots matter, but scoring chances, expected goals and actual goals don’t because they all make Liljegren look pretty effective. It’s very strange.

Yeah scratched for one game then immediately re-inserted, from a coach who was subsequently fired.

You are blaming Keefe.

But at least you are walking it back to a point where we are agreeing again.

$3m for a guy who is a scratch is expensive. He’s 25 not 20. The ceiling isn’t much higher if at all.

It’s not strange. It’s a fact that he’s bad and instead of looking for stats that fit your fantasy narrative you should be looking for reasons why he is what he is.

Lol no he's not. He's a #5 D who could easily blossom into a 3-4 D.

He’s a scratch.
