Predicting Maple Leafs' RFA Timothy Liljegren's Next Contract

Entering the 2024 offseason, the Toronto Maple Leafs have four expiring restricted free agents (RFAs): Connor Dewar, Nicholas Robertson, Noah Gregor, and Timothy Liljegren. Simon Benoit, before signing a three-year, $1.35 million average annual value (AAV) contract at the end of March, would have qualified for this list as well. Being that he's the only RFA defenceman without a contract extension, the Maple Leafs as a whole are going to struggle on the salary cap front, and Liljegren should be a staple on the blue line for a while, it's imperative to think about what his next contract with Toronto will look like.
