The Toronto Maple Leafs traded defenseman Timothy Liljegren to the San Jose Sharks on October 30.
Liljegren had been a healthy scratch to begin the season and Toronto let him speak to other teams about a trade. Now, the Swede has been dealt to the Sharks for two draft picks and a defenseman.
Maple Leafs acquired:
Matt Benning
2025 third-round pick
2026 sixth-round pick
Sharks acquired:
Timothy Liljegren
Toronto acquired two draft picks and the 2025 third-round pick will be the earlier of Edmonton or Colorado’s. The sixth-round pick is San Jose’s.
Benning is 30 years old and has skated in 7 games this season with the Sharks recording 0 goals and 0 assists. In his NHL career, he’s skated in 464 games recording 17 goals and 85 assists for 102 points. He’s a depth defenseman who could be sent to the AHL.
Liljegren, meanwhile, was selected 17th overall by the Maple Leafs in the 2017 NHL draft. He signed a two-year $6 million deal with Toronto this offseason, but he fell out of favor and had been a healthy scratch. In his NHL career, Liljegren skated in 197 games recording 14 goals and 51 assists for 65 points.
More to come.
