No. 3: Timothy Liljegren and Calle Jarnkrok Will Get Traded

Dpeth is very important, but it's tough to have depth when you have zero room in the salary cap, so as a result, the Leafs will have to make a trade.

Of those players they are going to move, I'd expect Timothy Liljegren and Calle Jarnkrok to play on different teams this year.

Jarnkrok has been rumored to be traded all summer, however the same can't be said about Liljegren, but here's why he's going to get traded: Currently listed as the team's No. 7 defenseman, team's across the league should be calling the Leafs for Liljegren's services and should be willing to give up a lot to get him.

Liljegren should be a top-four defenseman on the Leafs, but for some reason is undervalued. I don't understand it and anyone who says he's not good clearly doesn't know anything about hockey, as I think he's been the team's steadiest defenseman for the past two years. If Liljegren is going to sit in the press box, his agent should be asking Brad Treliving for a trade, which I think he'll pursue.

I never wanted the Leafs to trade Rasmus Sandin, but he fell into a tough spot and the team ultimately got a first round pick for him. I'm not saying they will get a first-round pick for Liljegren, but it wouldn't be shocking if it happened. As such, expect him to get traded, as well as Jarnkrok.
