3 million for the guy who was so bad he could not replace Holl in the line up , The day started great with the Tanev news and the Domi news and now this is a kick in the nuts .

[@lj6599]

If this is not a sign & Trade kind of deal, then I have no clue why??? WOW!

[@mylotus1052]

Basically the same team is coming back again?!? Wake me up for the 25/26 season.

[@grec291]

Golfing in April again

[@user-xg8ig6zx5r]

I can only hope Liljegren is part of trade to a team that wanted that contract! This is starting to look like run it back but instead of Brodie its Tanev!

[@Sadleafsfan.]

Seems like a lot to pay Lily… especially when he’s a healthy scratch during the playoffs. Was hyped w the Domi deal and now my mood is killed…

[@tsak912]

Marchand almost crippled him. It can take awhile to come back from that.

[@adamb1229]

Keep pumping out the content. Good stuff 👍

[@mannymistry68]

I really think we need to also consider Jarnkrok out of the line up. If you look at his stats per ice time, then you can’t deny that if you consider taking out players like Holmberg and Kampf, you have to also lose Jarnkrok. That opens up a lot of possibilities- like paying Robertson 900K on a 2 year contract, like getting Tanev and Zodorov, thinking seriously about Talbot in goal and getting 40 games a piece between Woll and Talbot (who says we have to have 1st/2nd goalie), with Jonesy as a natural 3rd.

[@user-ce4tk4ko5v]

If marner could grow some balls become warrior in the playoffs we should be fine 😮

[@johnsummerhill8323]

Better tell Matthews and Nylander that as well.

[@DharmYogi]

Robertson at that amount would be great. I hope they still go for zedorov

[@Michael-of6cw]

They are running it back just crazy

[@grec291]

So frustrating

[@jonathanbrown5713]

leafs need to move liljegren kampf jarnkrok.

[@polmoro]

Thanks Andrew

[@michaelkirkpatrick7483]

Totally insane to give 3M to a guy who can't crack the lineup half the time. Love to hear Treliving explain this signing. This is even worse than the Kampf 2.4M a year ago. Can't even trade this guy now, who would be dumb enough to take that contract? Have to wonder about Treliving now, seems to throw serious money at fringe players like it grows on trees.

[@marconion]

This sounds like an ideal sign and trade scenario!

[@scottcampbell5536]

Liljegren - what are they thinking.

[@alexdockrill]

My guy is working!!!!!

[@user-sn8sw2vi8z]

No he hasnt traded Marner yet🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@alexdockrill]

@@user-sn8sw2vi8z I mean Andrew!!!

[@DharmYogi]

It’s time they play some young guys like cowen and he is really good with confidence. Domi is good. Tanav addition is good. It’s not same team. Lot of the signing but one so far is not great but I like it. The domi contract is very decent

[@leebird76]

The question is how much of a say does Shanahan have in running it back a 9th year in a row?

[@grec291]

It's so frustrating running it back. Get ready for them playing golf again in April

[@willshowan2741]

What would liljegren's qualifying offer been if he didn't sign today?

[@bobknight6394]

need to dump the marner contract...

[@johnsummerhill8323]

Not a chance.

[@troybarton3515]

Sure it can be, after July 1st he is only Owed 1.5 million for the year

[@johnsummerhill8323]

@@troybarton3515 They pay him 7.5 million tomorrow. You think they want to dump him? Hardly. The most important player they have had for the last 7 years. And with a NMC , he has complete control. So how do you expect to trade him?

[@troybarton3515]

After they pay him the roster bonus he could get moved, he has given the leafs a list of teams that he would accept a trade to

[@johnsummerhill8323]

@@troybarton3515 No he hasn't. Not sure why you think that. He intends to play out his contract with the Leafs. And the team has stated that they are working out an extension of his present contract.

[@georgesockett3316]

They should sign Jones to a contract and hope he survives waivers..he could come in handy during the season

[@Minamakhlouf]

Man I'm gonna miss Capfriendly when it goes down this summer. What are content creators going to use for your videos when it does?

[@MetalJamesK]

Take a breather everyone. We haven't yet even hit Free Agency...

[@cweedcoins1640]

Could they have signed Liljegren in order to now trade him tomorrow

[@44preds]

Do they need to keep Jarnkrok?

[@mylotus1052]

Him or Kampf need to go. Cowan needs a spot. He will take one of either of them. I like Jarnkrok better. However, he seems to get hurt s lot.

[@derekpaddon9553]

I wouldnt put it past Treliving to still trade Liljgren. Hes worth alot more on a contract then not signed. Look at it this way , if Treliving is talking to a team like Chicago, or a columbus, Theyre going to be hesitant to trade for a guy who may not want to sign there. By signing Liljgren it opens hm up to alot more teams to be traded to IMO. Im still holding out hope they trade him . 3M is way too much , I was thinking MAXXX 2.5M on the high end. You could almost go out and get a Sean Walker for a bit more then Liljgren probably. to me this isnt making sense. Theyre saying Treliving likes his big guys on the back end but he goes and signs this contract its puzzzling to say the least.

[@Rob-ob3sh]

Sign and trade Lilly ?

[@grec291]

The Liligren contract is awful, especially for a guy that didn't even play a full season. We more then doubled his salary. Gave away a million when we are so strapped. This is looking like it's going to be a very similar team considering management lied and said big changes are coming.

[@derekpaddon9553]

The Signing of Liljgren at 3M pretty much solidifies Zadorov is gone. Not happening. I want Sean Walker.!! I think this is a backup signing , That if things dont go Trelivings way tomorrow he has Liljgren to fall back on , I dont think he would have any trouble moving Lily for a pick tomorrow.

[@Kevinc2828]

At 3 million for a guy who was so bad he could not replace Holl in the line up I think he will have trouble getting rid of him in a trade , This is an over pay and STUPID move .

[@derekpaddon9553]

@@Kevinc2828 Its Definitely on the high end. i mean Desharnais got 2M. I consider Liljgren has a higher ceiling then him , i think it should have been 2.5 but i still think they can get a pick for him.

[@maxpayne9041]

IF tanev signs it's just tj brodie all over again. The leafs need speed up front and that with goaltending,defence also.

[@jesserae87]

Cause he shoots right that's y

[@MySundin13]

Tree is taking care of business. Lilljgren MAY be a sign-and-trade... Leaf fans need to relax

[@victoryturnip1381]

I think so too. There's no other explanation based on the other moves they've made so far this off-season

[@Ferg13]

Leafs also qualify Robertson.

[@bw6078]

Give Lily a good contract he would immediately sign. Trade him and Robertson throwing some money in. Can't believe they're gonna keep Lilly.

[@ragejohnson1567]

3M for someone who is in and out of the lineup in playoffs is insane. Brad might be worse than Dubas

[@leafatheart]

Going to miss cap friendly and armchair gm

[@systemsoundbar5253]

at this stage of his career, tanev will still block shots like brodie but will not be as physical like brodie. so basically tanev is just another brodie lol.

[@tplomonte]

Trade Jarnkrok for Conner Brown. Lilijgren, that's a bit much. He should be tradeable . What about Edmonson? Steevie ? Nick Robertson? Dewar agree . Gregor, thank you .

[@johnsummerhill8323]

We don't want Brown back. He had a terrible season.

[@bigdave8437]

If they qualified Liljegren & he went to arbitration, people familiar with RFA related arbitrations, said based on 23 pts in only 55 games it was possible he might get awarded 4M. They would be unable to walk away from such an award so the deal looks smart to me. They can deal him as a hard-to-find RD & if things don't go the way they hope, then he's a NHL level insurance policy. No issues for me, so a wise signing imo. Robertson demanding a trade is rich. No arb rights, so no leverage & as you're only 22, STFU & show people you have value as a reliable NHL pro. Covid & injury have hampered his career, but that's not the Leafs fault, so suck it up, sign your extension & get yourself to arb status.

[@JoshFran]

Lol toronto will never learn I am praying this is to trade him.. cuz he was horrible every shift last yr.. nervous everytime the puck was on his stick.. I hope another team will be happy to pat him 3 million to be terrible lol.. terrible deal..

[@user-ce4tk4ko5v]

Tanev 4 million x 7 no front load nhl so if can't fulfill last 4 yrs litr

[@shawnbroome2861]

I don't like this contract I thought they were not going to resign him that's a waste of money that's for sure

[@neilkale8568]

They will also re-sign marner for 12mil and lose in the first round calling it now

[@andrewwinger3355]

God I hope not

[@user-yg9ri9eg6o]

Liilegran is not worth half of what they gave him . Here they go again. Same baggage. Kemp, Dewar, Robertson.

[@jamesnewman48]

he doubled his salary. why. Give him 500k maybe but makes no sense.

[@PortuBello]

Andrew how can you say its too much money when he got 2.8M last year? He is a pretty good D, whenever there was an injury to a D, he always came in and played strong. He should get a shot at playing everyday! But he is a good back-up and extra D. I just think running it back is just a mistake man, its crazy!! I would trade Marner 100%..!!!..But next year will be better once Tavares come off the books from his 11M.

[@shiifty1622]

I hate this liljegren deal.

Looks like the same teams coming back, not good so far

Liljegren is a VERY good NHL defenseman. People compare him to players like Montour, Trouba, or Pesche who we are not getting. He is getting better and is already pp2 qb.

The Leafs battle level is a joke and that's why they always lose in the playoffs. Brodie out Tanev in is not nearly enough to compete for the cup.
