The Anaheim Ducks' regular season isn't set to kick off until Saturday, and the trade deadline is nearly five months away. However, it's not too early for general manager Pat Verbeek to consider adding players in-season who could help the franchise long-term.
Usually, the list of trade targets is purely hypothetical at this point in the season, but Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren could end up on the trade market sooner than later.
According to Jonas Siegel of The Athletic, Toronto was willing to entertain trade offers before the 25-year-old went to arbitration during the offseason.
