As Mike talked about his most recent post, the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect has made his way onto Craig Custance’s trade board, and rumours about moving him are probably not going to stop until after the NHL Trade Deadline.

And while those are great reasons for keeping him, they also make him extremely valuable in a trade.
Liljegren Will get Traded
The reason the Leafs will trade Liljegren is simple: they want to win a Stanley Cup.
