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.

Liljegren agrees to 2 year extension with Toronto at $3 mil per. The Leafs are still in on OEL. Zadorov is likely too expensive. They like Matt Roy but sounds like he may be headed a different direction. Hence, Liljegren provides some affordable insurance.
