Remember Carlo Colaiacovo said we were in trouble if Liljegren was our 7th dman?

According to Dom he's been our best dman.

It’s amazing to watch how Sandin and Lilly went from being on the outside looking in to suddenly pretty close to key regulars. Or as Frenemy calls them, “busts”.

They've got a ways to go, but it sure does speak to having some fucking patience.

Prospect fatigue mostly I think. Feels like Liljegren has been in North America for a decade, but he's still a baby. And to make this sort of impact that this age as a D in the NHL is not at all common. The narrative on him continues to be bizarre across the media outlets.

I think Leafs prospects naturally get more attention immediately so it feels to people that they have been in the system longer than they have or that there is something abnormal about guys taking that long.
Timmy for sure has been victim to that. Some people asked quite a few times what’s wrong with Robertson. Nothing actually, aside from injury issues. Entirely normal progression. We just don’t have a microscope on other teams’ prospects’ progression.

It's also an issue that no one has any idea how to evaluate what a good defensive dman looks like. It's a little more than big hitz and no noticeable turnovers but I'm not sure the talking heads realize this.
Maybe just use good ol' fashioned objective, unbiased data?

I’ll give Lyubushkin a little bit longer but he is not what I thought we were getting at all so far. I was hoping for a crease clearer come playoff time and instead I just see guys getting to the front uncontested while he’s out there.

its funny how tough physical presences don't ever actually look that tough or physical when you watch them every shift.

A very aggressive pylon though. Gotta say I loved the "lost my stick so I'm just going to hit everything" shift.

I don't get the "since Clifford is waiver eligible now" thing. Does he think that they wouldn't waive him?
