Trade with CBJ

Doesn't help the Leafs this year or in the future.

I disagree, I think it's defensively an upgrade. Savard brings defensively much more than Ceci and Anderson brings physicality more than Kapanen.

But to be fair, they lose in offensive capacity and speed in this trade.

It's up to what they value more in their game.

I'd probably do this trade though. Maybe CBJ needs to add something because Liljegren shouldn't be moved easily.

Savard is 29 and is what he is, a defensively sound 2nd pair defender. He's an upgrade over Ceci sure, but the difference between Ceci and Savard is certaintly not Liljegren and Kapanen is better than Anderson. Leaf fans need to stop getting consumed with the whole "We need a RHD at all cost", we don't. We'd like one but overpaying in desperation never is a good idea.

Yeah, Anderson has been mediocre this season. Currently Kappy holds more value. But Anderson had a 50 point season last year, he does have the same offensive capabilities that Kapanen does when he finds his game.

But like I said, CBJ needs to add something, because the value difference is not Liljegren and he shouldn't be moved easily.

He shouldn't be moved at all. Liljegren is exactly the type of defender so many people on here think the Leafs need. He's defensively sound, plays with a physical edge and skates like the wind. On top of that, he's on his ELC for 3 years. He isn't the offensive dynamo that many thought he'd be but his defensive game has made huge gains in the past two years. I see him as the perfect partner for Rielly or Sandin, someone who will be good defensively and can also add some offense as well but his real value will be on the defensive side of the game.
