Liljegren is certainly one of the pre-draft favourites to be a faller and I get the reasons why.
However if he is still available at 16 I don't see any reason for us to be in on him. Almost every profile I read makes me think 'Oliver Kylington II'. Size, skillset, skating, hockey IQ, difficult draft year, same question marks and on and on. Everything really, right down to his nationality.
We've got Kylington I and it may work out very well. We don't need the sequel.
