Toronto Maple Leafs Re-Sign D Timothy Liljegren
The team announced today that Timothy Liljegren has signed a two-year extension worth $2.8 million, for an AAV of $1.4 million:
In 74 NHL matches over three seasons, Liljegren has produced 5g-19a-24 points--of which, 23 came this season. The 23 year-old right-handed defenseman could be a staple on the Leafs' blue line for a while, as he has some of the best underlying stats for u23 defensemen in the NHL:
As JFresh points out, this is a relatively low-risk/high-reward signing for the Leafs if Liljegren can duplicate his success as his role expands. And right-shooting defensemen do not grow on trees around the NHL, so when you find one who can play like Liljegren, it would be wise to keep him around.
