Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said the former Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman will improve the team's puck-moving ability.
"That's why Mike [Grier] probably acquired him, right? Continuing to improve our puck-moving ability, five on five, and the powerplay," Warsofsky said yesterday. "We've tried [Jack] Thompson and [Jake Walman] up there on the top, and we'll give Lily here a shot. We have high hopes that he can help us in our back end."
Liljegren skated with the Sharks' top powerplay unit during his first practice.
The 25-year-old looks to be getting a big opportunity immediately with his new team.
