The Sharks have traded for a puck-moving defenseman, acquiring Timothy Liljegren from the Maple Leafs in exchange for Matt Benning and draft picks.
Timothy Liljegren has developed into a capable puck-mover, with a career-high 23 points last season, but struggled to find his place on the Maple Leafs this year.
Despite being a first-round pick in 2017 and showcasing potential, Liljegren's lack of playing time under the new coach emphasized the urgent need for him to find a new opportunity.
In San Jose, the Sharks have identified a clear need for additional NHL-caliber puck-moving defensemen, which makes this acquisition seem promising for both player and team.
