Timothy Liljegren - Toronto Marlies (AHL)
The defenseman from Skåne was part of last year's Silver medal team but was already turning heads Stateside after 2016/7 U18 World Cup where he was assistant captain. He was drafted in 2017 by Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round and is now in his second season for their AHL affiliate team, the Marlies. Last year he was part of their Calder Cup team, but before making the transfer to Canada, Liljegren squeezed in 19 games in the SHL for Rögle BK, captained by Ted Brithén (pictured).He is a gifted puck handler and has a knack of staying out of the box. But you can be sure that at his last Junior Worlds and he will also be wanting to add to his two points from last year and impress the Maple Leafs management to give him a shot at the NHL.
