Mark Hunter on Toronto Maple Leafs’ selection of Timothy Liljegren: “He’ll bring people out of their seats”

Lou said yesterday that they were going to get the best player in the draft and not draft toward a particular position. Does that concur with what you guys were able to pick up here tonight?

Hunter: Yeah, we really liked Timothy. We believe in his skill. He was up and down this year, but he had a bad case of mono. He can move pucks. He is a new NHL kind of defenceman that can move up and down the ice at a high pace and make plays out of his own end very quickly.
