Just so long as it's a full dumperoo of Myers. Myers is a full dumperoo as it stands. Retaining a bit and taking Muzzin back would be just great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even on a bottom pairing I dont think he can carry the pairing. If we can trade him I would be ecstatic. I am convinced: Schenn Bear Burroughs Right side is better with Myers gone anyway. Disagree. IMO, it's all about complementary skill sets. It's the MAJOR blind spot Benning had here and you can see it throughout the horribly ill fitting roster we have. And the evidence is watching players leave here and go on to success elsewhere, when put in positions to succeed. There's a hell of a lot more to building a good NHL team than simply acquiring good players. You actually need a plan, an identity, roles, appropriate line mates/partners etc. Like I said elsewhere, I think he'd make a great 2nd pair with a guy like McNabb. Myers could bring the secondary offense, McNabb would play solid D and cover for the occasional chaos (giraffe) that leads to, and they'd likely be a physical force and major PITA to play against. But we don't have a McNabb and we're unlikely to get one with Hughes and OEL on the roster. And FWIW, I don't disagree. He's not a fit with the rest of the D core at all and is preventing us from fixing our top 4. Ill fit =/= bad player though.

Kobayashi Maru Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Myers for Muzzin and Liljegren. Take the LTIR salary and get a potential RD prospect who could still surprise. Either way you save the cap regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liljegren has shown zero signs of having a chance of turning into an NHL quality player. He's worse than useless and likely always will be. Did we not learn from Pouliot, Larsen, Bartkowski? Let Toronto keep this pylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Toronto keep this pylon. He is only of the only + players on the team so there is the potential for him to not be a complete defensive liability. While I agree that he shouldn't be our primary target while giving up key assets, if we move Myers to free cap, why not get a bit of a lotto ticket included. Worth a shot as long as we're not giving up anything of key value. Edited November 17, 2022 by Kobayashi Maru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Liljegren plays in his own zone is simply not acceptable and he should not be welcome on this team for any reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many months ago, there was a desperate GM who acquired the captain of the Arizona Coyotes to strengthen the blueline, while we all know that contract term is worse than Myers's. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we have to watch another player disgrace the franchise with their refusal to play defence. Keep this bum on the Leafs where the way he plays is acceptable.
