If you were to read some of the adjectives used in many of the scouting reports to describe Swedish-born defenceman, Timothy Liljegren, you would initially think that he is in fact the next great Swedish blue-liner ready to take the NHL by storm.

But in all fairness, Liljegren possesses many qualities that justify his top ten draft ranking and it’s hard to imagine that the Red Wings haven’t already done their due diligence on him.
