Here’s a preview of the Toronto Maple Leafs preseason.
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Swedish defensive prospect, Timothy Liljegren has been involved in a lot of speculation recently. Especially as the Leafs need to fill their last defensive spots. I believe that Mike Babcock will give Liljegren the chance to play for the last spot during the preseason.
Unfortunately, Liljegren did struggle in the rookie tournament against the Montreal Canadiens. If Lou Lamoriello is smart, he should send Liljegren down to the Marlies at the end of preseason. He needs the time to develop and the Leafs shouldn’t stunt his growth by throwing him into the fire too early.
