Timothy Liljegren reportedly has five potential trade suitors

This is a story that we have been following closely over the past couple of days. It seems pretty clear cut right now that the Leafs and Liljegren understand that things simply are not working out right now. The desire to move on is mutual at this stage, and fans are wondering whether or not we will see some type of movement sooner rather than later.

Having said that, reporter Josh Wegman seems to know which teams are in the running for Liljegren right about now. One of those teams just so happens to be the Dallas Stars. However, teams like the Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Florida Panthers, and even the Pittsburgh Penguins appear to be in the running.

Liljegren is a former number one pick so it is pretty clear that the Leafs want something good in return. They aren't simply going to accept a mediocre return just for the hell of it. Having said that, the Leafs are in an interesting position as a team that could content for a Stanley Cup. Now is the time to take advantage of the roster they have. Only time will tell whether or not playoff success is in their cards.
