The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without two of their top-four defenseman tonight, which means it’ll be a huge opportunity for Timothy Liljegren and Rasmus Sandin to show their worth.
It’s no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs need to upgrade their blue-line. However, after we watch Sandin and Liljegren in a bigger spotlight tonight, it may change the type of defenseman they try to acquire.
For the past few seasons, one of the biggest topics of discussion has been around the development of Sandin and Liljegren, but more specifically Liljegren.
Liljegren was drafted 17th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and only had played in 13 NHL games prior to the season.
