The Toronto Maple Leafs have re-signed defenseman Timothy Liljegren to a two-year contract worth $6 million, with an average annual value (AAV) of $3 million. This extension, announced on June 30, comes amid speculation about the future of Liljegren with the team. Maple Leafs' General Manager Brad Treliving had previously declined to comment on whether the team would qualify their restricted free agents, including Liljegren. The contract, reported by Sportsnet and Darren Dreger, provides the Leafs with affordable insurance as they navigate other potential acquisitions, such as Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Matt Roy.
