Calgary Flames have reached a mutual agreement with the Toronto Maple Leafs to acquire 25-year-old defenseman Timothy Liljegren. This move comes as part of a broader strategy by both teams to reshape their rosters ahead of the upcoming NHL season.
Liljegren, who was a first-round pick for the Maple Leafs, has shown promise with his solid defensive play and potential for growth. However, he has struggled to maintain a consistent presence in Toronto’s lineup, especially during critical moments like the playoffs. This trade to Calgary provides him with an opportunity to take on a more prominent role and potentially thrive in a new environment.
In exchange, the Maple Leafs are expected to receive assets that align with their goal of enhancing their defense, though the exact details of the trade package are still emerging. This trade is part of a series of moves by the Leafs to solidify their lineup as they prepare for the 2024-25 NHL season.
Both teams are expected to make further announcements as they finalize the details and prepare for training camps in September.
