Right on betting on himself again
So…. Not being traded?
It would have cost more to replace him in FA and I’m intrigued to see what he can do under a coach not named Sheldon Keefe. He’s not as bad as this sub makes him out to be, it’s a good signing.
I thought he was gonna get traded tbh but glad he is still here
Only need one FA now to fill out our 6 starting D, I’d kinda prefer OEL but I anticipate Tre going for Zadorov
Rielly – Tanev
xxx – McCabe (or swapped depending on handedness)
Benoit – Liljegren
Rielly – Tanev
Zadorov – McCabe
Benoit – Liljigren
Feels like it’s gonna be it for game 1.
They were half right, we didn’t offer a QO…..
Keeping him around is nice. 3rd line RD option perhaps?
So we have Rielly, McCabe, Liljegren, Tanev, Benoit, Timmins as our D.
We could still add a Zadorov (only if it’s a cheaper deal) or OEL and Timmins becomes the 7th D?
It was about $500,000 more than I was expecting but a good deal. The second best puck moving D behind Rielly that we have. If the Leafs keep him I think him and Benoit would make a good pairing.
I am not mad about this
It’s OK, he needs to step up next year, thought he looked terrible in the playoffs
I like Timmy but 3? Dude gets scratched every playoffs
Perfect.
Thank God, finally.
As much as I get Lilli is polarizing as a player, at 3 mill, the team is betting on him to take the next step under Berube and even if this fails, it’s 2 years and they can still move on
I really hope he stays on the top 4 for that caphit, and also plays the full 82 games.
Would like it closer to 2.5 but I’m not mad at 3.
Kid needs to take a step next year for sure tho… We have all been waiting on him to break out for the last 2 years now.
Can trade him right away if its not working g out
Knew it. No idea why they would move on from him when RHD are difficult to find and they likely would have over paid to get someone similar or worse.
Like this signing. Made almost no sense to give up on a guy at his age when he’s got upside and we have a new coach with a new style. Tons of d-men come into their own at the ages of 26-28.
If he’s not traded this summer (and the Leafs don’t sign Montour or trade for a PP1 caliber d-man) can they please let him play on the first power play unit, at least for the start of the year to see how it goes? I thought he played his best hockey all season when Rielly was hurt and he got PP1 time. Just try it for a month or so, if it doesn’t work then Rielly can go back to being on the first unit
In guessing leafs wanted under $3 million (2 years 5-5.5). And Lilegrens group were over $3 million or a longer deal (look at Sandin)
And they were able to negotiate to the middle.
LETS GOOOOO LILYYYY
People are down on Lily but I think Berube may be able to tap into his skillset better than Keefe.
Like the player so I hope this works out.
Let’s go! Love Lilly. Keefe didn’t trust him for whatever reason and injuries really took the steam out of his engine but I think he can be an absolute stud for us.
Decent, we need RHD rn and the FA pool is $$$, this is safe considering we’re going to make a bit of a splash with Tanev + someone else.
Im really excited to see Liljegren under a different coach. He was basically under Keefe his entire AHL and NHL career.
When Lily is playing confident, he is straight up awesome, I hope berube can tap in to his confidence a bit because if we get a constantly good Lily, we are in good shape
I thought the insiders said last night a trade was imminent?
Welcome back Timoth Linnigren!
The Zadorov – Liljegren pair is gonna pop off I can feel it

Not great, not terrible
Not great, not terrible
People need to stop using his sickness during drafting to define his skill. It’s been like 6 years, he either makes it work for Berube or he isn’t capable
Tidy piece of business.
I’m happy with this. He started the year awesome before his high ankle sprain. Hopefully we get that Lilly back! And he’s a righty. Mint.
I like
Assuming 4ish for Tanev, we only have 8 mill for a RHD PP QB and goalie.
hmm, I think too much?
thought we were trading him ? lol
Not sure why people seemed to be clamoring to trade this guy. Fair deal for a RHD that can slot into a PP spot. It’s a prove-it deal.
This means the team is committing to making him the 2nd pair RHD no?
Signing Liljegren means Zadorov wants 6 million + Same as Roy. Montour looking for 8 million +. So Tre will be looking at lesser names.
Could it be a signing just to make him more attractive and tradable with term and a decent contract with another move in mind?
