2017 NHL Draft Profile: Timothy Liljegren has top-three potential but may end up as a bargain for someone

In our 2017 NHL Draft Preview, we look closely at some of the prospects that could be available when the Hurricanes draft at 12th overall on June 23 in Chicago.

  • DOB: April 30, 1999 - Kristianstad, Sweden
  • Team: Rogle BK (SHL)
  • Defenseman | Shoots: R | 6’0”, 192 pounds
