If you traded Liljegren elsewhere, could you get a 1st round pick for him? If not, you need to add to the trade.

HARDDDDD NO. Why tf would the Leafs do that

That's not happening. He's much more valuable long term than a half year of Chariot, who they wouldn't be able to fit in under the cap with this trade.

TOR declines.

if the leafs planned on extending him, maybe. but i dont see the leafs doing that.

Remember when TOR traded their 1st round pick and more for half a year of Foligno and 7 playoff games.... Yeah...

Value is value, wether or not you **** it up.

habs would take that and run

maybe to make it more fair habs retain half and take on ritchie

this all stems from an argument with a habs fan friend, saying the habs shouldnt accept this trade which i think they take run laugh. fireable trade for dubas imo

I don't disagree, but I also don't think a single team is giving up a 1st for Liljegren. So this is a trade that doesnt work well for either team.

Nah, Liljegren hasn't lived up to his hype. Montreal doesn't take him in place of a 1st that Chairot will surely get.

Habs should want a 1st anyway, I dont think either team likes this trade

Where are the Leafs trading Liljegren for a first?

Yup, I do. Didn't work out, it happens.

More incentive to not make the same mistake again, which this would be.

habs win this trade with flying colours

Liljegren is better defensivly than Chariot and will get much better soon. No dice from the leafs

Liligren hasnt lived up to the hype? He's been fantastic this season LOL. Dman take longer to develop and both him and Sandin have taken a massive step. Easily the clubs next 2nd pairing dman next season

That was my point, no one is trading a first for Liljegren. But Chiarot will net a 1st for Montreal this year. Therefore Liljegren isn't the best return Montreal could expect.

We have depth defensemen, we dont need another when we can draft who we want in a different trade. If you feel Leafs are losing this trade, then agree not to make it...

Agree to disagree...

Imagine if we just tossed a player aside because they didn't become Lidstrom by the time they hit 30GP.

Lilly is getting his NHL reps, making the most of them, and makes Keefe think twice before taking him out of the line-up. He will be just fine long term.
