Timothy Liljegren, a skilled right-side defenseman, is stuck in the press box for the Toronto Maple Leafs, costing the team valuable cap space.
With Jani Hakanpaa's anticipated return, Liljegren's position in the depth chart will worsen, prompting urgency to trade him before the situation deteriorates further.
Sitting Liljegren, who has a $3 million cap hit, exacerbates the Maple Leafs’ financial constraints, especially since they’re currently fighting for a playoff spot.
The Maple Leafs are skidding at 4-4-1, catching up with other teams, which makes it imperative to resolve their defenseman situation rapidly.
