McKenzie And Dreger Comment On What Leafs Are Willing To Give Up For That Right Shot Defenseman.
"The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to be on the hunt for a right shot defenseman. While some reports indicate the team could settle on a grittier player like Adam McQuaid, ideally the team wants a puck moving defenseman that can skate. For quality you have to pay up and it could be tight considering many reports indicate general manager Kyle Dubas doesn't want to move one of his top blueline prospect. Insiders Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger discussed it on McKenzie's latest edition of "TSN Hockey Bobcast"«What we continually are told is that 'Yeah, they're scouting (right-shot defencemen), but they don't want to give up a player off their existing NHL roster,'» Dreger said on the TSN Hockey Bobcast. «So, then you look to the (Toronto) Marlies and you see (Timothy) Liljegren, you see (Andreas) Borgman, and you see Jeremy Bracco and guys like that � I'm sure everybody's asking for (Rasmus) Sandin, but that's not happening.»
«They're not getting Sandin,» McKenzie added. «And there are other people who maintain that Liljegren is an untouchable too and I don't believe that. That's my take, is that he could be had, that Sandin's the guy that they really want to protect at all costs. But that they'd be much more open to just about anybody else off the Marlies.»If Kyle Dubas is in fact willing to Liljegren, the market could open up for the Leafs. What do you think of Dreger and McKenzie's comments?"
