Good for Tim, hope he can enjoy a new environment
The Sharks have won back to back games and are making "buyer" moves
What universe am I in?
The Leafs got more from the Sharks for an healthy scratch than Detroit got for a guy who was on their first pair with Seider
GMMG masterclass, finally rid of Benning. leafs prob win this trade tho
The last Leaf's defenceman that Toronto drafted outside the first round to play more than 50 games for Toronto was … Dermott.
Prior to 2015 the next Leafs defenceman drafted outside the first round that played at least 50 games for Toronto was … Carl Gunnarsson (2007).
The most number of games a non first round defenceman drafted by Toronto since 2016 has played for Toronto so far is 6 games (Mac Hollowell). Kral played in 2, Durzi never played for Toronto.
Maybe guys like Niemela will be able to play but in my opinion the Leafs have really struggled to draft and develop defenceman for some time now. I hope Liljegrin is able to turn things around in San Jose.
Who have thornk it?
"Where is Thort?"
"Who is Thort?"
"Why is Thort"
Can Benning take Timmons spot?
If I can add my thort (sorry Shannon, couldn't resist lol) as a Leafs fan, I'm happy for Lilly. He's not breaking into this lineup anytime soon, and he's going to get a chance to play now.
Leafs gain 1.75 in cap space and a 3rd round pick that would be 1st or 2nd pick in the 3rd round. I wish Liljegren luck.
Farewell liljegren 😔
As a first round pick he was underwhelming. He wasn’t skilled enough to play in the top 4 and was a punching bag in the playoffs. I’m glad he’s gone as this dragged on long enough. He’s a good player but the bar is high here with the Leafs.
Liljegren's issue in Toronto was one step forward, then an injury or something else that affected his confidence. San Jose may be the environment that allows him to get some traction & regain his mojo. He has talent & to me, it was the 'between-the-ears' stuff that he couldn't seem to navigate. It's a hard league especially in the harsh lights of TO. Good luck in San Jose.
Salary dump for low draft picks, the Leafs don't have a clue how to trade for draft picks.
Benning most assuredly goes on waivers tomorrow. He, along with rutta, have been really bad on a defense that’s really bad.
I don’t see a way he plays in the nhl for the leafs baring injuries
As a Capitals fan, we got Rasmus Sandin for a pretty reasonable price because Toronto had too many defensemen. I don't think this deal is as good for San Jose as the Capitals' deal for Sandin was, but I still do think this is a good deal for San Jose.
Another younger D-Man being traded away.
Sandin being the last one.
Leafs really needed to clear up cap space for players coming off LTIR.
I dont think the player will be on the roster with the Hawk soon joining the D.
Draft pics are the main return and the 3 mil in cap space allow the Leafs to stay under the cap.
This is why cap space is such a gold weapon. This is like the 4th time this off season Grier has used it to pick up a player who is looking for a more direct path to the NHL. I like this pickup for the sharks. With a new change of scenery and a lot less pressure we could be looking back at this as a steal if it goes well.
I like the trade , Lelgren gets a fresh start , Leafs get a physical RH D guy . Picks never hurt either imo . A win for both teams .
I just don't get how it wasn't Utah, with their major long-term injuries to their top pair.
Toronto is so bad
Great Jersey 👌
Kyle Connor video! Go Jets!
My thorts are that the Red Wings won’t win 3 consecutive games this season.. 😢
And Kane will request a trade sooner rather than later
Liljegrens odds at a cup this year did not decrease with this trade
I think that Timothy needs to have some sci-fi genetic treatment to get him more fingers so he can fit every single Stanley cup ring that he will win in San Jose
