Markstrom + Tanev 50 percent has to have some value to the right team. Those scoffing at a Samsonov + Liljegren + 24 1st + Knies package as a return are crazy, that’s nothing like the Phaneuf trade, we didn’t get a pick of any kind in that trade. Liljegren isn’t all that bad either, righty too and 10 years younger. He has a couple back to back 60+ GP seasons where he put up more than respectable counting stats and has seen his ice time climb from 16 mins ATOI to 19+ so far this year. He’s not a nobody and as a defence man it’s ok that he’s ‘quietly’ put up some solid seasons in his early 20s.
