Liljgren is fine. I said he wasn’t ready for playoff hockey. He played one game in the Tampa series. I hope he continues to develop. But let’s not confuse him with Cale Makar.

People think this guy is good, but he sucks (and the reason is): Llijgren. He doesn't do anything particularly well.

Direct quote, by the way.

I didn't know that. Or maybe I was told it before and forgot.

Either way, that's gotta be really enticing to some teams.

My bad. It’s $2M In base salary this year and next year.

Gigsy those comments were from before the season. You know that I acknowledged significant growth during this season. Having said that I didn't think he was playoff ready.

Friedman on Real Kyper & Bourne talking Giroux/Leafs: "If he hits the market, I wouldn't be surprised if they called him and just said, what would it take? He's building a home in Ottawa, he made it very clear last year at the deadline he prefers to stay in the East".


Which team in the east close to Ottawa(or in Ottawa ) is the most likely ?

Fair. But I can see Marchment not breaking the bank.

If their contracts are similar, then I'd take Marchment over Wood.

I remember the argument there being Liljegren was worthless because he was drafted 5 years ago and wasn't playing in the NHL.

He's far from the only one who was looking at him that way.

Interesting that we haven't reached the same mindset with sandin. 🤔

The Liljegren hate has always angered me. Probably because I, unlike most, actually watched him with the Marlies. Where you could see the improvement he made every single season.

So when someone brushes it off, I'll point it out.

You did admit it during the season, because you had to with how well he was playing. Not fully, because you tried to rip me for saying (at that point) he was the Leafs 3rd best D-man (because he was, even if that's not really saying anything, since Holl is the definition of useless and Muzzin wasn't playing well).

But that doesn't change that you still hated him and thought he sucked, which is what I said and you've tried to deny.

And I also disagree with benching him in the playoffs. He played well and Holl came in and was all world useless. Just a miracle Holl didn't do something stupid to screw the Leafs over. Oh wait!

Oh, ok. So he has a signing bonus? Or am I an idiot and reading this wrong?

Liljegren. Was from the season predictions thread.

Looking at mine, outside of playoffs, I was pretty decent in my predictions.

If Lilly is our 3rd best D...we're well and truly fooked.

Yeah, same as Kerfoot who is only owed $750K in real money this year.

Crazy how that fooked team set a franchise record

Looks like the Leafs are thinking MAF.

Or at least according to LeBrun.

I wasn't. 👀
- joel878

Just seen't. Yeah, a couple doozys in there.

Ritchie letting people down.

Glad they didn't trade Rielly. And he got a nice extension for so much less than Nurse, who he is better than.

So if a trade happens with either of those guys, more likely to be after their bonus kicks in.

Kicked in on July 1. But so did Mr Harvard Smarty Pants 10 team NTC. He knows what teams are cash strapped so if he wants he can make it harder for the Leafs. Or he can just pick the places he doesn’t want to go. The might very well be the same cause who wants to play in Arizona where you have 10 minutes to shower before the JV volleyball team gets the locker room.

My list, based on poop I’ve read, of possible starters and backups:

MAF
Husso
Varlamov
Comrie
Stolarz

Maybe Holtby

I can’t think of anyone who’s not a bit of a crapshoot. Get two rolls of the dice at a price you can afford.

I don't like or want MAF, but he's unfortunately better than most available free agents/trade options.

But if I didn't answer the way I did, then how could I gloat about my awesome predictions in the predictions thread?
