Speculation: What teams are interested in Ilya Lyubushkin ?

[ViD]

A very responsible right handed defensive defenseman which is a rare commodity.

He was one of the best d men for the Leafs in the play offs playing extremely solid in his own end.

Any rumblings on what teams are interested and what his AAV might be?

I would take him on the Sens if they can't sign one of the better defensemen.

 

[xVolchenkov]

I’d assume Ottawa would kick the tires, but that’s speculation on my behalf rather than an actual rumour.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Wouldn't mind the Ducks bringing him back to play with Mintyukov again. Provided they strike out on the more legitimate top 4 RD's.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’ll say Chicago

 

[dirtydanglez]

cap strapped teams in need of a depth defenseman

 

[Your Boy Troy]

CSKA Moskva.

 

[Kcb12345]

Stars need to sign at least 3 dmen, minimum 2 of them right-handed. I'd imagine they have interest in him

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Why does he need his own thread?

 

[crowi]

I'd take him back on the Ducks, just to trade him back to the Leafs at TDL for a pick. Time is a flat circle.

 

[ViD]

CSKA Moskva.

Nah, he’s good enough to play a few more years in the N

 

[Leafs87]

He’s lost a serious step since last time he played on the Leafs. His offence is non existent and his D is definitely not elite. He’s really a #7 but somehow always plays higher up wherever he goes. He’s got a pretty coach friendly game, but other than that he’ll ware his welcome out pretty quickly

 

[Mickey Marner]

I’d take him back on the Leafs if it means we stop trading for him at the deadline.

 

[Yatzhee]

Some one has to take this guy, just for his goal song, even if it does only play once a season.

 

[habamillions]

He will go to a rebuilding team and the leafs will acquire him at the deadline for a 2nd

 

[Petes2424]

Lots of teams should be. He has a place to play. Even on good teams.

 

[Paulinbc]

Some one has to take this guy, just for his goal song, even if it does only play once a season.

What song is it? I can get an Apple Music subscription for cheaper than his contract will be, I should think.

I don’t agree with it, he was very solid for the Leafs in the play offs, definitely played as a shut down top 4 d man.

3 assists in 7 games and team high +4 rating

[David71]

could be a better option for vancouver than having juulsson/friedman at the 6/7 spots.

 

[jay from jersey]

Maybe NYR. He’s a solid vet to pair with the rookie Jones in his first full season next year.
Think Drury might have his sights set on walker, but if he misses they can certainly circle back for Ilya.
This assuming Trouba is gone in the next 24-48 hours…

 

[StuckOutHere]

Guy plays well with Rielly so don't see why Toronto wouldn't be in at the right price.
