Timmins is having another good camp. Not reading too much into. Maybe Rifai is playing his way into the conversation. Pretty funny about Nylander. Wonder if it’s just a one practice move.
That would be something, but since the Tkachuk trade, Treliving seems terrified of making trades that don't involve a mid-round pick for depth players.I’d like to see them make meaningful changes to the core and find their DeMar for Kawhi type trade as much as anyone, but also a bit resigned to the status quo as well. If management doesn’t have the strength and confidence to move off a guy via blockbuster trade, maybe it just means they can see it will be a net loss to the program if they do anything. The classic Cliff Fletcher mandate trade is basically your worst case scenario.

Perhaps just thinking about how to ease him in. This isn’t a 2 month process. It may take well over a season for him to fully take on the role.
This kind of sounds like Berube is already realizing Nylander at C isn't optimal, and wants Treliving to get a RH shooting middle 6 C who's also good at faceoffs.
It’s still early but what if Liljegren just isn’t what people want and think. If Liljegren wasn’t a first round pick would people be batting an eye with him being moved to 4th pair. If this is another coach that doesn’t see it in Liljegren maybe he just doesn’t have it.
I think Rifai 99% gets claimed if he goes on waivers. Leafs probably know this. And he's been solid for awhile so it makes sense to keep him as a depth option while Hakanpaa recovers.
Can't see Berube enjoying tape of Lil routinely losing board battles and failing to clear the front of the net. Against passive teams he looks great, any pressure whatsoever he looks a total liability. Good depth, never my top 6 come playoffs unless he finds another level.I know people got mad at me before, but are we sure the leafs are not considering trading Liljegren if the right deal presents itself? 3m for a #6 doesn’t feel right. And Liljegren has value
Sunk cost fallacy for a lot of people i'd imagine. Hes just like another Sandin. Average in a lot of stuff, not elite in anything specific. Just a very vanilla player that has shown he crumbles come playoff time when games are tighter and tougher.It’s still early but what if Liljegren just isn’t what people want and think. If Liljegren wasn’t a first round pick would people be batting an eye with him being moved to 4th pair. If this is another coach that doesn’t see it in Liljegren maybe he just doesn’t have it.
Fisting???I meant like cheating in the faceoffs, pulling yall jerseys, hooking, fisting when the ref aint seeing, blinding, lifting a stick, holding a stick and also saying things to a player thst is almost not acceptable etc. We gotta do all to win. Be Claude Lemieux, Roy, Neauwendyk , Roberts type
