The San Jose Sharks have acquired defenseman Timothy Liljegren from the Toronto Maple Leafs, sending Matt Benning and two draft picks in return.
Liljegren averaged 19:40 of ice time in 55 games last season with the Maple Leafs, scoring 23 points and earning a reputation for solid defensive play.
By trading Benning for Liljegren, the Sharks are not only aiming for a more even ice time distribution but also an offensive upgrade on their defense.
The Sharks have also traded a 2026 sixth-round pick and a conditional 2025 third-round pick to Toronto, highlighting the investment in securing Liljegren.
